It is just the verbiage the software is using for that useless "bar" on the TT page. You need to track your own refund by using the IRS or state sites. TurboTax never know when your refund is being issued.
If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act. Do not expect your refund earlier than early March
