This has been reported by a number of people. We do not have any information at this time. The IRS phone lines seem to be down at this time, but you would have to contact them for clarification.
The IRS has a Websites to update information and check your filing status.
Please read what it says on the right hand side where it says “Filers: Get Your Payment”

- They cannot provide more than half of their financial support during the tax year
- They must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national or a U.S. resident alien
