The form asks for some personal information — your Social Security number, your address, your date of birth, and your zip code — and is supposed to tell you the status of your stimulus check. It also allows users to enter their bank account information for direct deposit.
But a lot of folks are encountering the an error message that reads "Payment status not available" after entering their information. Great news: There's a very simple way to circumvent the error, and all you have to do is enter your address information into the form in all caps:Though it's a somewhat ridiculous solution, it appears to be an effective one.
I read that in dudes voice 😂
SAME AS ALWAYS 'STATUS NOT AVAILABLE' I am a federal retiree with direct deposit every month.I have filed taxes at the same address for the last 10years.Most people deal with 3 federal agencies, IRS, SSA, and Post Office, and they make all federal employees look incompetent.
Seems like someone didn't do proper testing and debugging.
