Topic 152, it is a general information topic that covers IRS processing of tax returns.  It does not address any specific concern for an individual's tax return.  Here it is https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc152.html

  • Being processed", means the IRS must first process your return and then approve your refund. Even though the IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days after they receive your tax return, it’s possible your tax return may require additional review and take longer. Hang tight, you will see your status eventually change. 

Where’s My Refund? will give you a personalized date once they approve your refund. 

If you are claiming the Earned Income Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS will begin issuing tax refunds on these returns on February 27, 2019.
