My circumstances and info haven't changed for 10 years. My only income is Social Security, which is direct-deposited to my checking account every month, no problems.
Check #1 - IRS message said it would be mailed, but it was direct-deposited a few days later.
Check #2 - IRS message again said it would be mailed. Paper check arrived in my mailbox 4 weeks later.
Check #3 - ??
My message says that they have have my DD info, and they will update me with a payment date. But still no payment. I think I might have delayed it, by filing my 2020 taxes exactly one week before this stimulus was signed. But I could be wrong. My first 2 checks were DD, on time with everyone else.

It's a miracle!! I just tried the link expecting the same old nothing info as per usual. Guess what? Payment date specified via dd to account Social Security is deposited. I can't believe it!
I have a screenshot possibly for framing. lol
Previous payments were via USPS. There was no way to add dd info. I tried many times.
Not going into things we don't talk about here but change is good.

Great news for you -- Congratulations!
Question: when entering SS# should one use the dashes (000-00-0000) or numbers only (000000000)? Both methods seem to "work."

Yep I just went and checked and mine is pending for my main bank account too!
I guess I gotta update my budget. Now I don't feel like buying my new Xbox Series X should have waited. This is now the second time I didn't know when I was getting my stimulus and made a big purchase and found out I was getting it shortly the next day.

I do it without dashes. I use the slashes in the date though.

Yes, they finally figured things out! Been checking the IRS tool for a week with "no information" but yesterday they said my payment will be direct deposited on 3/24 into my BoA account where I receive my Social Security Retirement payment. Hooray! I got my first payment by check, 2nd paymentt by debit card, which really ticked me off. Yeah, never look a gift horse in the mouth but I hate those pre-paid debit cards, if you use them to pay for purchases it's all but impossible to drain them down to the last dollar, and I use reward credit cards for purchases. So I went to my local bank branch and got them to do a $600 cash advance on it and then deposit it into my checking account.
