    According to this, I won't get my Direct Deposit until the 5th of May. Not sure why they are staggering the direct deposits.

    Mine ends in 13 so I am guessing they are lagging a bit or maybe it will come later this week. I could have sworn it said BY the 28th though.

    Doh! We had to extend. I guess we have to wait until the fall.

    A bit more info...

    "WASHINGTON - The government started depositing thousands of rebate checks in taxpayers' bank accounts on Monday, earlier than originally scheduled, with the Bush administration hoping the payments will give a jump-start to a weak economy.

    The Internal Revenue Service started making the deposits at 8:30 a.m. EDT Monday with the goal of completing 800,000 direct deposits each day over the first three days of this week. No deposits will be made Thursday while the IRS prepares a big batch of 5 million direct deposits scheduled on Friday.

    So, if your SSN ends in 00-20 then you will get your deposit today through Wednesday, correct?

    My guess is that you should receive your direct deposit by Friday if your SSN ends in 00-20. My son's ends in 12 and he has not received his yet. When he gets his, I'll let you know.

    I think they are starting earlier than originally anticipated but not necessarily finishing earlier.

    I did mine on paper - but I'll still get it before I get my next paycheck. And I believe I'll be putting it towards my insurance. I'll probably spend a good chunk on gas too. At the current price of gas, even if I used my check on gas ONLY, it wouldn't last me more than 3 months anyway. At least by paying off my car insurance, that'd last me twice as long.

    Gotta put it in Savings. My wife having a really complicated delivery and taking 5 months of maternity leave depleted the Savings more than I'm comfortable with.

    *sigh* I was contemplating making the plunge for an HDTV. Xmas 2009 can't get here soon enough...

    If you filed you get a stimulus check. (basically)

    Even if you didn't get money back you will still get money on next years return.

    Going in savings. Hope to use it for either a vacation this summer or a new HDtv, I feel like I'm the only person without one.

    I was eligible to be claimed as a dependent last year (full time student in spring semester), so I'm not getting a check :mad: My IRA needed an injection of funds, too
