I might start saving up for a motorcycle. There will be used ones in abundance next winter/spring if Sturgis goes on as planned.

I finally was able to get beyond the "payment status is unavailable" message.  It took me to a page where it said I am eligible, but needed more info for my banking information.  So the following page I had to enter my grossed adjusted income from my tax return, the amount I was refunded/owed, and my banking information.   The next page I received the following message:

"You have successfully submitted your bank account information. Your payment will be direct deposited into your bank account using the information you provided."

I had my taxes filed on 15 April, so maybe you all are close to being added to the system.

Looks like we were in the same wave as you, we just got the message that we're eligible but they need our deposit info.

I was able to do mine today, also. Your description is exactly what I experienced, although I had to use my 2018 info because I haven’t filed my 2019 tax return yet.

Reps for paying attention and helping me find my way through this stuff. So I'm on the "will be deposited" list now!

Well, all $2400 went to a 529 for our daughter. Wife’s call, not mine....I was hoping for some new golf equipment.

Same for my one son, who owed money in 2018 and 2019.  Got that message every day the past two weeks until yesterday, and got his deposit info updated. Hopefully it will come soon.   The rest of us in the family all got our direct deposits in the first wave two weeks ago.

Mine will go to having a couple of trees removed in our back yard.  Not sure what Mrs. Zunardo has planned for hers.

I know it makes me sound like I'm 14 years old, but "stimulated" still hasn't gotten old.

I checked yesterday and it now says my deposit should be in tomorrow. I was one of the people who the system couldn’t find for a few weeks so you guys should check and see if yours updated to.

Got it today probably will go Vegas or towards the Patio we’re putting in. Just trying to decide if I can sneak a hot tub in past the HOA noses.
