Hey guys. Can I join in on the discussion?
this is actually a case where I wish a few more people had received a claim. 7 dollars less and the IRS wouldn’t be getting a piece of the pie. remember folks monday is a holiday so don’t expect a check then. hopefully they will arrive on saturday. I’ve had checks from new york arrive in two business days if the checks were dropped off at the post office in the morning.
Checks was mailed out today.Were not recieving checks today early next week..
I will just refer to myself as mark#2 since there is another one here. If the checks are sent out tomorrow then I’d give them at least 4-6 business days to get to california. monday is a holiday so the mail won’t be running
No letter, no check!!
Not yet………………..Have a great day!
Has one got a check yet?If so how much?
dude is a troll
No check in Los Angeles. Where do you live?
Got my check woooooooooo
your mailman must be an early riser :) Mine doesn’t arrive until 6pm most of the time. I guess it doesn’t matter since I usually get home at the same time. Can you give us the total amount? I suspected that they would arrive early and said January 16th because they knew all checks would be arriving by that date. They’ve known who they were sending checks to for about a month now.
Same here. My mail never arrives before 4pm. Sometimes it never arrives at all! There has been more than one occasion where Sonicare brush heads went missing from my mailbox when it said “delivered” (it’s a locked mailbox)
