After you file
Don't be a twit ... the IRS has millions of deposits to make and they will not go out all at once ... they don't have the personnel or the equipment to do so ... patience will be needed.
If you have already filed a 2019 return there is nothing you can do until something happens on the IRS side… and they are ahead of schedule which is evidenced by the test deposits some saw recently.
If you get the DD in the next 2 weeks then you are done.
If you do not get the DD by the time the IRS finally opens the promised portal (now expected by 4/17) then you can check on the status and/or update your information at that time. https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments

To help everyone check on the status of their payments, the IRS is building a second new tool expected to be available for use by April 17. Get My Payment will provide people with the status of their payment, including the date their payment is scheduled to be deposited into their bank account or mailed to them.
An additional feature on Get My Payment will allow eligible people a chance to provide their bank account information so they can receive their payment more quickly rather than waiting for a paper check. This feature will be unavailable if the Economic Impact Payment has already been scheduled for delivery.
