Where’s my economic stimulus check?!? How to check the status of your stimulus check
I am pretty stoked about the so-called economic stimulus checks. I have no plans to stimulate the economy though. I plan on using it to pay down a little debt.
So, when I read that the checks were coming early I got excited. You see, my last two digits are “06″ and this week they were sending out money for “00″ to “20″ so I was expecting that money early in the week.
Yesterday it still had not shown up in my account. I was getting nervous here.
Luckily there is a toll-free IRS stimulus check status hotline that you can call for updates. All you need to do is call 1-866-234-2942. Enter in a small amount info (your social, your filing status and your exemptions) and then it tells you when your check is to be deposited.
I called it last night and it said my stimulus check is being deposited today.
I just checked my account - score! It’s there!
So, if your economic stimulus check is MIA, just call 1-866-234-2942 before getting all worried like I did.

Hey I just called that number and thanks for that, however it says that it has no information available at this time for my account.. what is up with that.
Yeah I am in the same boat as James. I call that # and no info. is available. Is there a number where you can talk to a live person about the status of my check? Spent a bunch of $ on my credit card and thought I would have my check to pay it off bu now.
From what I understand, the info is updated weekly. So, you might want to try it again next week.
I wouldn’t suggest calling a number and entering your information unless you’ve pulled the information directly from the IRS website.
It’s not a random phone number, Dustin. Have alook at the bottom of this page right above “related items”

Info wont be available until a week prior to your scheduled deposit. Go to http://www.IRS.gov and you can check out the schedule, along with the status of your money- online… Good luck
