    I got mine on April 29th Jan in social security retirement my wife who is one ssi and on ssdi got hers on may 22nd Friday we are both very happy finally we can pay off debt. If you are on ssdi and haven’t gotten it yet do the non filers which my wife did took almost 2 weeks make sure you enter your bank info for direct deposit. You will get it within a week to two weeks and yes there is a very good possibility of another round of stimilus checks woohoo.

    Live with son and get social security. Less than 800.00 per month. He put me on his taxes (he makes about 15K Monthly. He received his stimulus check. I did not. We both are poverty level. .? 8 guess my situation was overlooked in guidelines. So many of us elderly are the same way and received zero help. I am Blessed to have my son to help struggle in having a roof over my head. By chance, am I wrong andnni will get help, assistance in living daily. GOD BLESS AMERICA !!??

      Keep checking the get my payment daily. It won’t show information until the payment has been scheduled. They are sending payments every week. I finally got mine last week, so they aren’t paying on a needed most basis first.

    I still see a lot of frustrated and upset people posting here, and I hope I can lend some help.
    The get my payment so t show anything until your payment is scheduled, otherwise you will keep getting the no information message.
    The number being given is merely a hotline that gives the same information as the website, and isn’t really helpful (1-800-919-9835).
    There is another number that may yield better results so you can ask a question, that number is 1-800-829-0582 ext. 652.
    I hope this helps someone.
