Here's When Coronavirus Checks Will Arrive if You Get Social Security, SSI

Coronavirus relief checks started arriving in bank accounts in mid-April.

But if you receive Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits and you didn't file a 2018 or 2019 tax return, you were probably among the many who received the mysterious "payment status not available" message if you tried to track your stimulus check via the IRS Get My Payment site.

If that scenario applies to you, no action is needed on your part. The IRS is still processing your payment automatically. It's getting the information it needs from the relevant agency, though you won't be able to track your check via the Get My Payment site.

Fortunately, an April 16 memo by the U.S. House and Ways Committee provides a timeline for when you can expect your payment.

Be nice if the Whole think tanks put that out there.

Even if you filed your 2019 taxes and are getting Social Security with owing the IRS and paying your taxes out of your checking account in February they still do not have payment status available and can not find you in the system. I know this as fact because this is happening to me.

I'm hearing a lot of people never got theirs. Could we do a post to ask people if they have gotten their check or haven't (but should have).

I'll be happy to get it whenever I get it. worrying about when I get it is not productive. It will be a pleasant surprise when it arrives.
