He Internal rents service (IRS) and the Treasury Department of the United States are shipping the initial batch of second stimulus check through direct deposit, physical checks and EIP cards. Payments will continue until January 15, but not everyone who qualifies for the stimulus money will receive their check immediately.
Why only 15 days?
The IRS has set a remittance limit until January 15 for the agency to complete submitting payments. So far the IRS has acted quickly, but there are some limitations and other issues that could delay your second stimulus check. Your place on the payment schedule can give you an idea if you will be one of the first in line to receive a second stimulus check up to $ 600 per person or you will be in the last groups.
The idea of replacing the $ 600 checks with a maximum of $ 2,000 died in the Senate on Friday, January 1, although the president-elect, Joe biden, pledged on December 22 to offer a third stimulus check this year.
What group am I in?

The people whose information is supported by the IRS are in the first group that they are receiving since December 29 through a direct deposit in your bank accounts.
The tool “Get My Paymet”To find out the status of your payment is out of service and the IRS is expected to put it up and running on its website starting this week.

People with benefits of SSDI and SSI receive their resources through a Direct Express card, however, most social security recipients received their payment from stimulus check through a different bank or through a paper check.
Third group: People who receive paper checks

EIP payment debit cards are prepaid Visa cards that the IRS sent to some 4 million people last May. If the IRS follows the same order of payment priority, this group could start seeing your checks weeks after the first wire transfers go out. direct deposit.
Remember that the envelopes where these cards arrive are white and do not have any specific mark, so you should carefully check your mail. If you do not receive yours by January 15, you will need to submit a Recovery Refund Credit between January 16 and April 15 as part of tax season.
Fifth group: people with complex situations
This category includes people who received a check after June, who are still waiting to receive their payment, or who did not know they needed to complete an extra step.
