When Will I Get My Economic Stimulus Payment?

We’ve all been asking/telling our­selves: “damn, I can use some extra cash right about now.” Well, your prayers and requests have been answered as the Gov­ern­ment will soon be send­ing some dough your way:

A. The Trea­sury Depart­ment will make pay­ments start­ing in ear­ly May. Ear­ly fil­ers, espe­cial­ly those who choose direct deposit, will get their pay­ments first.

If the IRS fin­ish­es pro­cess­ing your return by April 15, you will most like­ly get your pay­ment based on this sched­ule. If you choose direct deposit, this means your pay­ment will arrive on May 2, May 9 or May 16. If you do not choose direct deposit, checks will be mailed between mid-May and mid-July. For this ini­tial batch of stim­u­lus pay­ments, the pay­ment date will be based on the last two dig­its of your Social Secu­ri­ty Num­ber. [Updat­ed 3/19/08]
