However, millions of others have not yet received it.

Federal officials said Monday the next batch of COVID-19 stimulus payments will disburse to taxpayers this week.
Many of the payments in this next round are being issued by paper check or prepaid debit card, the U.S. Department of the Treasury said.
If you don’t receive a direct deposit by March 24, watch the mail carefully.
The Treasury said additional payments are expected to be disbursed on a weekly basis going forward.

Thankfully, the IRS 'Get My Payment' tool is up and running. You can use it to track when your payment will be deposited or mailed. You will need your social security number, address, and date of birth to use the tool.
For example, a FOX 35 viewer said that when she checked the tool, it said "We scheduled your payment to be deposited on March 17, 2021 to the bank account below."
The tool also listed the last four digits of her account number.

The tool is said to be updated once per day, usually overnight. It will not show the amount of your payment. Also note that just because you got the first two stimulus payments, does not mean you will get this one. The income requirements for this round are different. You can use this stimulus calculator to see if you qualify and if so, how much you will receive
You can use the tool on the IRS website.
