[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the checks were supposed to start with the people who have the lowest incomes. Is that only for people getting actual checks vs direct deposit?

That's only for being who aren't getting direct deposit. Those physical checks will be sent in the mail in waves - I heard they'll send out [b]5,000 physical checks[/b] a week which is why its tiered by income.[/quote]

Yes those who filed 2018 taxes or 2019 taxes and received a refund via direct deposit will be in the first batch due to have their stimulus deposits by 4/15.  After that, based on who completes the on-line form or a mailed form that is returned, will be processed by income level.  The first week will be roughly those who make less than $10K.  The second week, roughly those that make under $20K annually, etc.  If a form comes in for someone who makes under the current limit, they are supposed to be processed in the next batch of stimulus checks sent out.

And PP, you are off by three orders of magnitude.  They are sending out roughly 5M checks a week, not 5K.  There are roughly 143M tax payers in the US and roughly 327M citizens.  At the rate of 5K per week, most people would be retired before they got their checks.  As it is with 5M sent out a week, those in the highest earning tiers who did not have a direct deposit refund filed for 2018 or 2019 will likely not get their stimulus checks until September or October.
