@apc2080 - probably what occurred is you got caught in the cutoff to create the paper checks. they are to send those out beginning the week of April 24th in "income order" .
I read that all those that have been updating their direct deposit info by April 23rd are to get their direct deposit by May 1, so you are actually better off at this point getting the check.
paper check schedule:
week of April 24th - under 10k income
week of May 1 - under 20k income
etc
