First not everyone got the first payment yet ... if it gets mailed it could take a week to show up.  And if your return is still processing that will also delay the payment.  If you don't get all or any of the credit in advance then you can apply for it on the 2021 return.  Check if you are eligible here :

Thank you critter. BTW my wife loves your username!!! 🙂  

    I am completely qualified to receive the $250.  My direct deposit info is with the IRS.

So the $250 was scheduled to start going out on 7/15 meaning not all the $250 payments are

hitting peoples accounts on 7/15 but could be for days after?
