Hi guys! One of my Reddit friends just received their second stimulus paper check today. He’s located in Baguio. Anyone receive theirs yet on here?


Good for him.Still waiting for mine..where are you located by the way?

I have a US address and im still waiting for the 600 and 1400 checks.

sarahw45

I’m living in cebu now. Yeah, hopefully everyone will get theirs soon then

Sumomaster2004

Cant understand why if we got the first one with no problem the other two never showed up

FortuneFavorsTheBold

I'd tell you but I'd get kicked off the forum if you know what I mean.

FortuneFavorsTheBold

Haven't gotten any of the 3 direct deposits.

FortuneFavorsTheBold

Still waiting. Turning over to my accountant.

We have until may 17 to claim our missing stimulus check by recovery rebate...hoping it will arrive before that date

Sumomaster2004

I filed for the recovery rebate for 600 on Feb 12. Still nothing

Direct deposit or being mailed again?

Mailed to my US address.

Just an update. My friend in angeles city just got his second check last Thursday, which was mailed jan 6, He said it was forwarded from the embassy in manila. Guess our checks are coming from the embassy. Hope we get ours soon.

sarahw45

Good to hear! Thanks for the update :)

Has anyone tried calling the toll free number to ask about the Stimulus?

actually its the embassy's fault. try to email the embassy in cebu. it is supposed to be mailed to us directly from the irs but for some weird reason it goes to the embassy first. anyways goodluck.

1400$ is 2nd or third check?

Third. 1st was 1200, then the 600.

Is your check mailed directly from IRS or you just have some relative or friend in the US and asked them to send here in PH?

It’s mailed directly. But somehow, its delivered to the embassy first and stays there for a month. Then the embassy forwards it to my address. That’s what happened to my two checks.

Does the check has expiration?

Yes one year from issuance. In my case, it was issued jan 6, 2021.

Why not do direct deposit electronically? Philpost delivers the wrong mail to me all the time. Not to mention what employees might do if they think there might be money to be had.

Carmina Francisco

I don’t have a dollar account in the states so it needed to be mailed to me here in PH so i can cashed it here. We’re using  fedex it said that it will only took 3-5 days from the day it will be mailed

If you have a dollar account here it can be direct deposited electronically.

mikecortez24

Hey guys... just received my third check. It was mailed march 26th...it came directly from the us treasury..how about yours?

The Philippine postal has a reputation for sniffing out cash and credit cards sent through the mail., even better than drug dogs at customs.

A word to the wise, have a postal address in your home country and get your mail timely. Why wait weeks and weeks and be concerned if you are going to get it at all.

filomenalim7535 ~ Even if you aren't required to file tax returns, you need to for the IRS to direct deposit your COVID19 assistance payments to your bank account in the Philippines electronically.

Filomenalim7535. . . .It's very stressful waiting and expecting the stimulus funds, especially when it's hard to find answers. It's even worse when others under similar conditions have received their check or direct deposit.

I don't know if it would help but check out the IRS website Get My Payment. If they had issued payment, they will tell you the date. This should get you in the right direction on chasing down your payment.
