There’s a chance you might see your stimulus check arrive Wednesday since St. Patrick’s Day will be the first official payment day for the check, CNBC reports.
What happened?
The IRS said last week that Friday, March 12, would be the first day some Americans could see checks pop up in their accounts.
- “Some Americans may see the direct deposit payments as pending or as provisional payments in their accounts before the official payment date of March 17,” the IRS said in its statement, according to CNBC.
In fact, CNN reports that Americans across the country saw checks as “pending” in their bank accounts. Both Wells Fargo and Chase Bank said payments were pending due to payment processing time.
- Chase Bank said: “We are making funds available as they are received. Most eligible customers can expect to see stimulus payments in their Chase account as soon as Wednesday, March 17.”
Who qualifies?
- So who gets the stimulus check? The current qualifications include individuals who make $80,000 or less, as well as some married couples who make $160,000 or less. The stimulus check will be up to $1,400 total per person, as I wrote for the Deseret News.
- However, your stimulus check could be less than $1,400 for those single individuals who earn $75,000 to $80,000 (or couples who make between $150,000 and $160,000).
