​

What if 'Get My Payment' says:

Payment Status:

A payment has been processed, a payment date is available and payment is to be sent either by direct deposit or mail. Note: mail means you may be issued an EIP Card or a check.

or

You are eligible, but a payment has not been processed and a payment date is not available.

Payment Status Not Available:

If you get this message, either they have not yet processed your payment, or you are not eligible for a payment. They will continue to send the 2021 Economic Impact Payment to eligible individuals throughout 2021.

Need More Information:

If you get this message, your payment was returned to the IRS because the post office was unable to deliver it.

​

To have your payment reissued as a direct deposit, you can provide a routing and account number for a:

-Bank account

-Prepaid debit card (must be reloadable; contact the card issuer for information)

-Alternative financial products that have a routing and account number associated with them

​

If you don’t provide account information, they can’t reissue your payment until your address is updated. See ‘My address has changed or is incorrect. What can I do to change or correct it to receive my payment?’

Can I receive stimulus payment if I didn’t file taxes due to not having income?

If you do not usually need to file for taxes (e.g. on disability/no income) you will need to submit a "free file" so the government knows where to send your check.
