Refund if you claim $600 stimulus

Will claiming the $600 stimulus on return delay my refund ?  Has anyone who claimed the $600 received a refund yet .. 4 of my family filed on 2/13 and after all have received refunds but me , I'm the only one who claimed the $600 stimulus.

Your refund will not necessarily be delayed by claiming the $600 stimulus.

 

If you had not received $600 for the second stimulus payment, it must be reported on your tax return in the Recovery Rebate Credit section.

 

If it has been more than 21 days since you filed, then there may be some other reason for the delay.
