Someone please help. I filled out the "Free Stimulus Registration for non-tax filers" but haven't got my Stimulus Check.

According to TurboTax I filled out the  "Free Stimulus Registration for non-tax filers" on April 4th and it was sent and accepted by both the Federal and State Tax Agency. Today the IRS launched the Get My Payment tool to check on your stimulus check status and when I enter my information I get "Payment Status Not Available According to information that we have on file, we cannot determine your eligibility for a payment at this time." When I check my refund status on the IRS website it said that my 2019 tax return is Return Received, but hasn't been approved yet. Is this the reason why I haven't gotten my stimulus check yet? Does the 2019 return need to be approved so that the IRS has your info or should they have your info when they received the tax return. When filling out the "Free Stimulus Registration for non-tax filers" on TurboTax I entered direct deposit information. I definitely qualify for the stimulus check.

Not all checks are going out on the same day.  Be patient.  Not sure what order they are releasing them in.

I am In the same position expect it says my refund amount is 0$, but when I look it up on where's my refund it says it is 1$, will i get direct deposit or a paper check? I filed April 5th, my refund was accepted but hasn't been approved. When i check the where's my payment portal on the irs it says it has no information of my eligibility at this time.
