When Will ERP Payments Be Made?

The timing of EIP payments varies depending on several factors, including the recipient’s chosen method of payment, the time of year, and the processing capacity of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

In general, EIP payments are issued in batches, with the first batch of payments being sent to individuals and families with the lowest incomes. The Treasury Department releases the payment schedule for each batch of payments on its website.

For those who opted for direct deposit, the payments are typically processed within a few days of being issued. The exact timing of the deposit will depend on the recipient’s bank.

For those who receive a paper check, the mailing and delivery process can take several weeks or more. The Treasury Department estimates that it may take up to four weeks for a paper check to be delivered.

If you have not received your EIP payment and it has been more than four weeks since the payment was issued, you can track the status of your payment online or by calling the IRS toll-free number.
