The letter will basically remind you of when you can expect your payment to arrive and will also explain the possibility of why perhaps you may receive less. As I mentioned in the past I was to receive my stimulus on May 9th DD but never did so I hope this may be of some help to those of you still in the dark. This is just in my experience so far to date.

If I were ''promised'' a free trip to somewhere exotic for a week on a specific date. I know I'd be pissed if the date passed by and I was never notified as to why I'm still waiting with my bags packed. Most of these people have a right to vent as that is all it is. Call it another human trait we all share. With that said it will arrive we just have to be patient...(sigh) With no disrespect intended Shirley, Their are so many proud Americans with kids no less trying to make ends meat and their very survival depends on this few hundred as promised.

For those of you whom did the DD before the tax deadline but allowed your fees to be taken from the rebate total... Expect a paper check in the mail. As I had mentioned before I should have received mine through DD on May 9th but after trying the IRS website one more time I was finally informed that I would receive my $600 via chech which will be mailed out June 6th. When you go to the IRS site and fill in the nessary information you will only be notified if you are a week or so away from your money being sent to you. Hope this sheds some light on this subject?

It's now the 28th and nothing. Except of course the IRS dead end. I had a product shipped May 9 from Germany to the US and it arrived on the 21st. So Germany can get me physical products sent by econom mail into my handsfaster than our own IRS can do a simple electronic transfer of the money they promised me... Thankfully, I didn't count on this money for my bills, but as gas is rising by the minute, $1200 could help keep fuel in the tank for a while! May 28 and counting...

We were supposed to receive ours on the ninth and we still haven't received it as of 24May. That really is a shame and people are already having financial issues. This is to shirley.

According to the rebate format I should have had mine DD on May 9th. Las two digits of my SS are under 35. Now their claiming that because I allowed my filing fees to be taken from the amount owed to me that this puts me in a category to receive my stimulus rebate via paper check in June, possibly July. What makes me wanna foam at the mouth is I have read others whom filed exactly as I did and they have receive theirs already I did everything accordingly and still nothing yet. The IRS website directs you to a dead end so that's no help and I know I would be wasting my time trying to call them. I'm mad so so so so mad. Now I donno if I will get it by DD, snail mail or if at all. How about adding a few hundred for those of us that were inconvenienced, call it the late interest fee?

It would be nice to get it before the holiday weekend to help pay for family time. For shame. Supposed to get DD on the 9th, nothing yet!
