Federal Tax Rebate--When Will I Get Mine?

That depends on your Social Security number! It could be a couple of months! Didn't know that, didja?

The "economic stimulus payments" are being mailed out (or direct-deposited) based on the last two digits of your Social Security number (or, for joint filers, that of the person named first on your tax return.)

Assuming you filed your tax return on time, here are the dates:

Direct Deposit
Last 2 SSN digits Payments transmitted by
00-20 May 2
21-75 May 9
76-99 May 16

Paper Checks
Last 2 SSN digits Payments mailed by
00-09 May 16
10-18 May 23
19-25 May 30
26-38 June 6
39-51 June 13
52-63 June 20
64-75 June 27
76-87 July 4
88-99 July 11

Sweet Jesus!! July 11th!!!???

Funny how this info kind of got pushed aside. Everybody heard they were starting to send out stimilus checks at the beginning of May; I never heard that it would take up to two months for them to show up! (I owed money, so I didn't think to fill out the direct deposit info on my return!)

Oy!
