Many Americans are concerned about how long it will take for them to receive their stimulus checks.
If you’re wondering how long it will take for your check to arrive, the answer is approximately six months. That’s because the IRS has to send a letter notifying you that you’re eligible for this payment — so, if you know for sure that your taxes were filed properly, there’s no need to panic.
However, if there were any mistakes on your taxes or if some documents were lost in the mail (and therefore not sent), there could be some delay in receiving this money.
There are also other factors that may prevent people from receiving their checks by 2022: Some experts think it might take longer than expected due to technical issues with electronic filings and refunds caused by the government shutdown earlier this year. On top of those challenges, many states have already started handing out checks owed them through various funds related to health care costs — which means fewer dollars available for stimulus payouts overall!
Stimulus Check Joy For People
If you’re not a citizen of the United States, you won’t get a stimulus check. If you were born in Puerto Rico or another U.S. territory, or if your parents were residents of those places when they gave birth to you, then there’s still a chance that you may receive one. But if your parents weren’t residents of those territories when they gave birth to you and instead lived in another country (like Mexico), then even if they moved to Puerto Rico later on and became citizens there—you wouldn’t be eligible for a stimulus check.
Residents of Guam and other overseas territories within the United States also aren’t eligible for stimulus checks because these territories don’t have voting representatives in Congress who could introduce legislation like this bill into law–so again no stimulus checks necessary!
The same goes for military servicemen: active duty service members are ineligible too–even if their spouse would otherwise qualify (assuming she has no other income source).
If you’re eligible to receive the payment, don’t get your hopes up just yet. The exact date of when you’ll receive your payment is unknown at this time, but it’s likely that it will be sometime in May 2020. If you are currently receiving SSI benefits and have already filed for benefits under the provisions of the Social Security Administration’s new “Windfall Elimination Provision” (WEP), then you may not be eligible for a stimulus check at all.
