IRS is currently very busy putting the new law into the tax code, processing 2020 returns, including the Recovery Rebate Credit, and now processing a Third Stimulus check.
They are releasing bits of information at a time. We are doing our best to pass it on to you as soon as we know about it for sure.
Due to Covid, they have not even processed all the 2019 paper filed returns yet.
Again, here is the IRS link for verifying the Third Stimulus Check:

IRS has posted the following note on the Where's My Refund tool site:
COVID-19 Mail Processing Delays
It’s taking us longer to process mailed documents including:
- Paper tax returns, and
- All tax return related correspondence.
We are processing all mail in the order we received it.
Do not file a second tax return or call the IRS.
