They are slow to input info, remember this is the IRS .. paper & pencil.

I am actually quite shocked .. at how fast the "turtle" is moving.

"The IRS is piling unopened business tax refund requests into storage trailers and advising companies to file by fax instead. It’s stopped answering phone calls on taxpayer assistance lines. And it’s not processing millions of paper tax returns filed by individual Americans"

"Americans with income up to $20,000 are expected to get their checks by May 1, while those with income up to $40,000 by May 15. The rest of the checks will be issued by gradually increasing income increments each week. Households earning $198,000 who file jointly will get their reduced checks on Sept. 4. The last group of checks will be sent on Sept. 11 to those who didn’t have tax information on file and had to apply for checks."

Ok I don't think we are getting anything for quite sometime, we are well below the threshold, but end of may early June, geez a little late then grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Wow... So some of the most vulnerable low income people will get their checks last. That sounds about right.

Yeah, waiting until June is not much of a "stimulus" for folks counting on the check to pay rent or put food on the table. And what ever happened to them using Social Security direct deposit info to get the payments out quickly??? My retirement SocSec hits the 4th Wednesday of the month and hit my account this morning, while my stimulus check is still scheduled to be printed & mailed this Friday.

But, I'm one of the lucky ones completely unaffected by all this. Retirement SocSec and part time employment that I really enjoy with the local county government in a position deemed essential and working my normal schedule. Well, one effect has been to reduce my spending to only basic essentials, so I swept today's SocSec payment to my Marcus savings, which is where my stimulus payment will end up. Sorry economy, you'll have to get stimulated without me, but god bless to all those struggling to get through this.
