When can you expect to see your stimulus check

The federal government has announced the dates on which Americans can expect to see the promised economic stimulus checks.

The mailing will begin on May 2 and end on July 11.  Many will go into direct deposit.  To those who want a paper check, the day it arrives will depend on the mail's speed.

The last two numbers of a social security number will determine when the checks are mailed.  There are a lot of numbers and dates to look through, but the Kansas City Star has done a pretty good job of laying it all out.
