I haven’t received my federal yet

But it says approved

We'd love to help you, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?

After your return is accepted, the next step is for the IRS to approve your refund. 

First they look for things like back taxes and unpaid child support. If they find any debts, they'll offset (reduce) your refund to cover the outstanding amount. Once they are satisfied that you have no outstanding debts, they will approve and then issue your refund.

Where does it say Approved?  That is a later step than Accepted.  But after Approved comes Sent.
