and they told me the date I would receive my 1st check, maybe a month out ? I think I opted for direct deposit then too. As it was they deposited it in the wrong account , their mistake , not mine .
I had to go back in and request the paperwork I had filled out and it showed my correct bank info . Someone keyed it in wrong . It was corrected quickly .

I’ve heard stories of some waiting 6 months which was a surprise to me.
