Rebate Check - aren't I suppose to receive a "notice" before the actual check is sent?

Question

I received a letter fromt the IRS a couple months ago notifying me that I qualify for the economic stimulus check. It stated that I would receive another notice telling me how much my check would be before the actual check is sent out. Going by the calculator on irs.gov, I should be receiving my check around the 1st or 2nd week of July, but have not received any notice of such. Can anyone tell me if they received a notice before receiving their checks, and did it tell you when your check would be sent and what the amount would be? Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, go to this site and click where is my check and it will tell you everything you want to know, when etc. It is safe it is the IRS.

Answer 2

Yes, you should receive a letter before the check. My letter came 1 week AFTER my electronic deposit was made. It never stated the amount on it, only that we would receive the check

Answer 3

Everyone I know got their letter after they got their check. The letter did however tell them how much they were supposed to recieve.

Answer 4

The letter in March did NOT say you qualify, it said "you MAY BE eligible for a payment..."

Go to http://www.irs.gov/app/espc/ and enter your info to see if you qualify, and for how much.  If you do qualify, you will most likely get a letter a few days before you get your check.
