It's also worth noting that the IRS updates the Get My Payment tool's database daily, and it appears that major updates are taking place this week. Many people who are eligible for a payment have been receiving "Payment Status Not Available" messages since the tool was launched, but it's important to keep checking back daily. The short answer is that paper checks are already starting to be mailed, but it could take a while to get yours. Once the IRS has scheduled your payment, you're unable to enter your direct deposit information, so you'll be stuck waiting on your check to arrive. You can use the Get My Payment tool (linked earlier) to check the status of your payment and see if a check has been scheduled.
