According to estimates by the House Ways and Means Committee, here is how the checks are expected to go out. The committee memo notes that the timeline is subject to change. According to the memo:
The IRS will make about 60 million payments to Americans through direct deposit in mid-April (likely, the week of April 13th). The IRS has direct deposit information for these individuals from their 2018 or 2019 tax returns. This will include Social Security Administration beneficiaries who filed federal tax returns that included direct deposit information.
Shortly (hopefully within 10 days) after the first round of payments is made in mid-April, the IRS plans to make a second run of payments. These payments will be made to Social Security beneficiaries who did not file tax returns in 2018 or 2019 and receive their Social Security benefits via direct deposit. (The estimates are that nearly 99 percent of Social Security beneficiaries who do not file a return receive their Social Security benefits through direct deposit.)
About 3 weeks after the first round of payments are made (the week of May 4th), the IRS will begin issuing paper checks to individuals. The paper checks will be issued at a rate of about 5 million per week, which could take up to 20 weeks to get all the checks out.
The checks will be issued in reverse “adjusted gross income” order -- starting with people with the lowest income first.
