After you file

Well, the IRS is seriously backlogged because of all those extra stimulus filings, thus slowing down processing for everyone.  On the general subject of stimulus/recovery rebate, the IRS mailed debit cards for stimulus #1 and #2 to some people. But those recipients may have thought it was junk mail and threw it out.  So they filed for the Recovery Rebate,  but the IRS records show they already were issued the stimulus.  So that requires more processing.
