If you don’t have your stimulus check, when’s it coming? If you got the latest one, are you sure you got the right amount? Here’s what you need to know.

If you’ve been waiting weeks for all or part of your $1,400 stimulus check to arrive, your money may be on the way. The IRS is sending a fresh wave of stimulus checks to eligible people through the weekend and into next week, the agency announced this week. Some people are already reporting the money, approved as part of President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief package, is showing up in their accounts or is on the way in the mail. (Here’s how to track your check with the IRS and follow your payment to your mailbox.) 

Social Security, SSI and SSDI beneficiaries may also be included and should look for their money to arrive electronically on a Direct Express card or through paper checks in the mail. The majority of these payments are expected to land April 7. However, people who receive veterans benefits and don’t file taxes are still waiting on a payment date. If you’re missing any stimulus check money as a result of your 2019/2020 tax situation and a change to your AGI, the IRS is also delivering 2 million “plus-up” payments made through direct deposit and by mail — you don’t need to file an amended tax form to receive it. It isn’t clear if this applies to people missing money for new dependents, like those who had a 2020 baby

The stimulus check delivery story may not be over. For example, if your check never arrives (but an IRS letter said it did), you may need to report that or find the rest of your stimulus money or request a payment trace. That’s why it’s critical you know how much money you should expect. We explain what to anticipate below. In the meantime, here’s what we know about a potential fourth stimulus check, and how child tax credit payments will bring more money if you have eligible dependents and qualify for the CTC. This story is frequently updated.

Stimulus check schedule: The current timeline and scorecard

Starting this weekend through April 7, SSI and SSDI recipients will finally get their payments, though many veterans will still have to wait. If you receive federal benefits, you’ll get your stimulus money either as an electronic transfer to an existing benefits card, like Direct Express; a transfer to your bank account; or as a payment through the mail. The IRS won’t send EIP cards to this group, the Social Security Administration said.

Many people who don’t receive federal benefits and didn’t get a direct deposit by March 24 will receive a stimulus payment in the mail as a paper check or EIP debit card. However, some folks may see an electronic transfer appear in their bank account, as an adjustment called a “plus-up.” This is primarily for people who received a partial payment based on their 2019 taxes but who are actually due more money based on their 2020 taxes. The people receiving this now have had their 2020 taxes processed by the IRS. The IRS said it will continue to send these plus-up payments on a weekly basis as it processes tax forms and reevaluates payments.

Note that it could take days between the date the IRS or Treasury processes your payment and when you receive it, especially if your check is delivered through the mail. If your life circumstances changed between getting the second stimulus check, which was authorized in December, and now, any complications could hold up your payment. If you moved recently, you need to tell the IRS and USPS.

Here’s how the checks have…
