I thought this time last month that the direct-deposit payments to Social Security beneficiaries, under the law that had been enacted a month earlier, would all be paid in the first round.  What was holding up paper checks was the Treasury's capacity to print them, so there was a weekly maximum.  But I keep getting calls from clients receiving Social Security, who qualify for EIPs and have not received them.

I know that the paper checks are being sent according to a schedule based on AGI -- those with higher incomes, have to wait longer.  Does it seem to you, that they are doing the same thing with Social Security people?  And that all of the singles have to be paid before they start on joint returns with AGI above $100K?
