what date is the check being mailed?  

 

The IRS had to create a cut off date for direct deposit vs. the first wave of checks.

 

I have seen numerous posts where folks are getting checks on April 24 - which is the first wave of paper payments.

 

There are press reports that for those that updated the website for direct deposit by April 23rd; they will receive their direct deposits by May 1,

 

So if you are in Wave 1 of paper checks, you are actually better off with the paper instead of the direct deposit,....and there are still 80million americans waiting on their payment! You are in good shape!
