Hey! Can't Find Your Economic Stimulus Check???

Friday - May 16th - was supposed to be the final day of electronic - direct - deposits by the IRS of the Economic Stimulus checks. Electronic deposits of the stimulus checks began two and half weeks ago on April 28th. If you requested direct deposit, depending on where the last two digits of your Social Security Number fell in the deposit order, your checking account should now have received your stimulus payment.

If you opted to receive a "paper" check, instead of electronic direct deposit, then Friday was also the beginning of the "mail-out" period. Again, depending on where the last two digits of your Social Security Number fall in the deposit order, you should receive the check in the mail between next week and the middle of July.

• Were you/your family eligible for this "pre-bate" check?
• Have you received your economic stimulus deposit or check?
• If you got yours, was it made out for the correct amount?
