You will get it in the next four weeks, most likely. This is a huge undertaking – -and in its “wisdon” the government started out by paying tax filers who got refunds by direct deposit. Then came paper tax filers. Then coming now is Social Security retirement and disability recipients. And last — but not least — they will get around to the people who need it most — SSI recipients. You have no choice but to be patient. It will come. Not necessarily at eh same time as your next SSI deposit, either!
