SOUTHWEST FLORIDA - Did you get your Economic Stimulus check yet?

I checked the IRS website for a date. Then, on Monday, I anxiously checked my bank account. The Economic Stimulus check wasn't deposited yet. I noticed on our website www.winknews.com we're getting a LOT of feedback from people wondering the same thing.

So I called the IRS, and in case you're wondering where your money is, here's the answer.

The IRS has revised some of the "language" about how they are releasing the money. If you're scheduled for the May 5th deposit date, the website now says they will have it transmitted no later than May 9th. So you could get it before the 9th, but the latest they'll send it is the 9th.

You can go to the IRS website and type in your info, and it will tell you when it should arrive and if you haven't received it by a certain date, you need to call them and ask where your money is. www.irs.gov

However, they say remember banks have different policies about when they record deposits. For instance, I know at Bank of America they record direct deposits and withdrawals at midnight. So if the IRS deposit any time today, it will show up in the account tomorrow.

The IRS says they are getting some "feedback" from people who haven't received theirs, but not a lot. They sent out 7 million payments last week.
