No one here would know that answer.  Only the IRS knows about their Get My Payment tool.

 

The Get My Payment application will return "Payment Status Not Available" for several reasons, including:

  • You’re required to file a tax return, but
    • we haven't finished processing your 2019 return 
  • You don't usually file a return, and
    • you used Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here but we haven’t processed your entry yet
  • You’re not eligible for a payment (see EIP Eligibility and General Information).

We update Get My Payment data once per day, overnight so there’s no need to check more often. If you’re eligible for a payment and provided your information either through a recent tax return or the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here application, please check back for updates.

Did you miss the deadline to register online for the Economic Impact Payment?

You may still be eligible to receive a payment in 2021 if:

  • You did not register online, by mail and did not get a payment in 2020 or,
  • You received a payment, but it wasn’t the full amount of the Economic Impact Payment. The maximum credit is $1,200, or $2,400 if married filing jointly, plus $500 for each qualifying child.

Then:

  • When you file a 2020 Form 1040 or 1040-SR you may be eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit. Save your IRS letter - Notice 1444 Your Economic Impact Payment - with your 2020 tax records. You’ll need the amount of the payment in the letter when you file in 2021.

If you received a second e-mail from Intuit, then your stimulus is being processed.  The Get My Payment tool referred to by @bluedeb is updated regularly, but may take a couple of days to reflect these changes.  Also, if you are expecting direct deposit, please note that it may take your bank a few business days to process and reflect the deposit in your account.
