PAYMENT STATUS NOT AVAILABLE: Sounds like I'm not the only one that got this message and no check. Anyone else getting this lovely message from the IRS?

I got same message, but I did not fill in bank info on 2020 tax form, because I had no tax refund. I also did not file until 4/12, 2020.
There will be a payment on SSA, but my guess is it may show up with normal cycle of SSA deposit. No check day 2 and they reported 60 million checks sent for Wed. My bank said no SSA recipient received a check yesterday, unless they had refunds coming back to them.

Have not found any info on when I might expect a check. I am also going to attempt to file an update on tax filing today with added bank info.

I got the message that I am eligible, but they don't have enough information to direct deposit at this time. Then it says if I cannot provide this information (it doesn't say WHAT information it needs) they will mail me a check.

It also says that if you are a Social Security recipient (I am) that I don't need to do anything.

I'm confused.

It sounds like you did not have bank info on your tax filing form. Or the Fed did not have room to send more than 60 million checks. I also think that SSA recipients did not get shorted any monthly check, thus their need may not be as high as someone who lost their income.

Thanks for the response! Do you know of any people who are SS recipients that have received their direct deposits?

If your income is below a certain amount, you are not required to file a tax form because there will be no refund. If you are in that category, but file a form anyway that does not require a direct deposit of a refund, you cannot put your bank information on the tax form (you are only allowed to do that if you are receiving a refund).

So it's a bit confusing as to whether the IRS will use the information on your tax form, or the info from your SS benefit to send the funds....

No, I filed and paid out the yang yang. It's on the news that there's a glitch in the system but IRS (on their site) is denying it.

Unfortunately that behavior is, and has been for years, part of the IRS pattern of behavior.

If your SSA check is sent to the bank, you are good. It seems that the answer they gave you is not just for you.
