Has anyone received their stimulus payment early?

Question

According to the schedule available from the IRS, our paper check should be mailed by July 11th. I checked the on-line feature at the IRS website which tells you the status of your stimulus check, and it says July 11th as the mailing date. We didn't direct deposit this year, but owe no money or penalties.

When my dad, sister and brother were expecting their checks, the info didn't show up on-line until 4 or 5 days before the expected mailing date. Our info was posted 14 days before the mailing date. On our local news last night was a story stating that the IRS expects to have ALL stimulus disbursements mailed or direct deposited by the 18th of July.

Have many people received their stimulus checks early, or have most been sent on the specified date? Has anyone received thier's late?

Answer 1

Note that it will take the Postal Service a few days to deliver it after it is mailed, so if it is mailed according to the IRS schedule on 7/11, you may not get it until early in the week of 7/14.

Some rebate checks in a given SSN range go out earlier in the week, but there does not appear to be any recognizable pattern to predict which checks get mailed out earlier in the week.
