Debit card payments come in a plain envelope from “Money Network Cardholder Services." Due to a system error, EIPs scheduled to be mailed as a pre-paid debit card on 05/22/2020 were not all issued. If you live in one of the states listed below, no action is needed. We are working to issue the payment as a paper check to your address on file for you. Get My Payment will provide a new date once your payment by check has been scheduled. Alabama Arkansas Colorado Delaware Florida Iowa Louisiana Massachusetts Mississippi Nebraska New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Dakota Oklahoma Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Dakota Texas Vermont Virginia If Get My Payment says your payment was mailed on 05/22/2020 and you do not live in one of these states , follow the guidance provided in the   Payment Issued but Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Not Received   section of the EIP FAQs. ...

COPIED FROM THE IRS PAGE A55. If your payment was issued by direct deposit, your first step is to check with your bank and make sure they didn’t receive a deposit. You should request a trace on your Payment if you received Notice 1444 or Get My Payment shows your payment was issued on a specific date, but you have not received it and it has been more than: 5 days since the scheduled deposit date 4 weeks since it was mailed by check to a standard address 6 weeks since it was mailed, and you have a forwarding address on file with the local post office 9 weeks since it was mailed, and you have a foreign address Do not request a Payment trace   to determine if you were eligible for a payment, the amount of payment you should have received, or you have not received a Notice 1444 or a payment date from Get My Payment. How we process your claim We will process your claim for a missing payment in one of two ways: If the check   was not   cashed, we will issue a replacement. If you find the original check,   you must return it as soon as possible. If the refund check   was   cashed, the   Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS)   will send you a claim package that includes a copy of the cashed check. Follow the instructions. BFS will review your claim and the signature on the canceled check before determining whether they can issue you a replacement check. You will generally receive a response 6 weeks after we receive your request for a Payment trace, but there may be delays due to limited staffing. Get up-to-date status on affected   IRS operations and services. A trace on an Economic Impact Payment (EIP) follows the same process as a trace on a tax refund.   To start a Payment trace: Call us at   [phone number removed]   (you may experience long wait times or recorded help because our staffing is limited) or Submit a completed   Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund (PDF).  If you submit the form and you are Married Filing Jointly, both spouses must sign the form; Write “EIP” on the top of the form and complete Sections I, II and III; Answer the refund questions as they relate to your EIP; When completing Number 7 under Section I, check the box for “Individual” as the   Type of return; enter “2020” as the   tax period   and leave the   date filed   blank; Mail or fax the form to: ...

And as I stated, I called that number only to be told I needed to wait 4 more weeks to call even though the website states that after 4 weeks you may call that number and ask for a trace. I do not have a change of address or live out of the country. I was patient and called every day for 5 days because I understood 'phone delays' not an outright different answer when I got a 'human'.  I am stating that multiple IRS agents at the number 'told me they would not help'. Please do not patronize me. If you have information on a person that will actually do what the website says please share that instead. ... View more

The irs posted a phone number on JUne 10th that  you could call and ask for a trace. took me 5 days to finally get thru but I have finally gotten thru 3 times to have a trace put on my stimulus check.HOWEVER  the first time he said he could help with that and put me on hold for 29 minutes before it hung up and the last 2 times they told me they could not do a trace. When THEIr website was just recently updated to say if it has been over 4 weeks you can have a trace but they are telling me 8 weeks. 8 weeks is what you have for out of the country mail. Why update the page to say anything if  agents are told to refuse to help anyone. I was so relieved to think I could find out where it was and then to get shot down with the explanation 'due to the coronavirus' well Covid has been going on a lot longer than the post on June 10th so wth? ...

this is all good info but have you heard how we double check if it has been sent. my concern is that it says it was mailed out over 2 weeks ago. did it get lost? did my old change of address effect it? (irs page makes it sound like it wouldn't but the post office says it would...and this is just a concern because my address change was from awhile ago and i recieved the letter from trump saying hey you  qualify...but still no check...) how easy is it for say someone else to  use the debit card...i would just like to know) ...

Well so much for getting excited about the check being mailed on the 15th...it's 2 weeks later and still nada.  Has anyone received a the message about their payment being scheduled on May 15th received theirs?  ... View more

@SWEETTEE  That is all correct!! ...Plus, people who receive Social Security after retiring -which they paid in- are allowed to work and Social Security Disability allows you to  make a certain amount of money, it's not much, like maybe $100 a week. So it is possible that they are, also, out of work. ... View more
