Where’s my stimulus payment?
-
Wondering when your stimulus payment will arrive? According to the IRS website, millions of economic stimulus payments will be sent out starting May 2 until July 11, but if you can’t wait to find out when yours will be in the mail then head over to Where’s My Stimulus Payment.
The Consumerist points us to this IRS tool that gives you a better idea of when to expect a check in the mail. The tool doesn’t provide you with specifics until a week before the payment is scheduled to be issued. However, it does give you an idea of when to expect the payment based on the last two numbers of your social security number.
When you arrive on the site, you’ll have to enter your social security number, filing status, and the total number of exemptions on your 2007 tax return, so make sure you’re on a secure computer before doing so.
It’s not the greatest of tools, but it sure beats checking the mail everyday for a check that may not be there until July. The government, in general, has a reputation for being behind the times when it comes to things like these, so I’m glad the IRS is at least trying to provide services like this one to the public because as you know, people don’t like to waiting for their money.
