Veterans Checks Being Sent Out

Got the best kind of confirmation on the matter today as I was checking my bank balance and saw the latest direct deposit for the $250 Recovery Act/Stimulus payments for eligible veterans.

I had seen some comments on other threads from Saturday with folks stating they had just received theirs but not by anyone I could personally confirm with or personally knew.

If you haven't received your payment yet and you were notified that you were eligible by the VA, the deadline remains June 30th, but I'd stay on the look out for the direct deposit or check in the mail (depending on how you normally receive your VA checks) this week. As far as I know everyone who has called to inquire about the checks has been given the same routine as the letter and told that they need to wait until July 10th without receiving payment to inquire as to what went wrong. If you have that kind of patience, great, but be prepared to get brushed off until then if you do call.

Previous post with further information on the questions raised by vets on when exactly these payments were going out (many of whom are hitting hard financial times just as many Americans are lately) is available here: Veterans Checks by June 30th?
