Did filing the 2020 return delay the third stimulus check? Mia so far

[theskyisthelimit99]

I filed the 2020 return back on feb 10th and paid the balance owed on federal taxes on 3/10/21 officially.

I received previous stimulus payments through direct deposit, now its 3/19 and nothing has come in or by mail.

My eligibility didnt change this year, still applies the same.

Anyone have any thoughts?  The getmypayment site gives the error message that many reported.

"Payment status not available"

• We don't have enough information yet (we're working on this), or
• You're not eligible for a payment.

The IRS has just started issuing Stimulus payment #3, and it will take a few weeks to get them all out.  So please be patient.
