For the first check, the IRS used banking information from your 2018 or 2019 tax return to send your payment. For the second check, the IRS said it's using just your 2019 tax return. These payments can be deposited directly into a bank account, savings and loan, credit union, or on a pre-paid debit card. Direct deposit payments are normally posted to accounts no later than the first business day of each month, but the actual date when you will receive your payment will depend on your financial institution. Use this form to apply for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) with an eligible lender for a First Draw loan.
Claimed dependents may not eligible for an additional $500 payment. Another reason there may be a mismatch is that claimed dependents may not be eligible for a $500 payment. The first payment you may receive is postponed by one week's worth of payment, called the waiting week. Basically, every claimant who qualifies for unemployment serves an unpaid 'waiting week' that begins the first week they become eligible to receive benefits. In order to be paid benefits, you must request payment every week.
