NOT early ... but on time, as originally promised. I can certainly live with that ... I just wish it had never come out in the media that payments would start going out early, because then I had that expectation! 
I got $600 -- $300 as a single parent, and $300 for my daughter. I wish I could throw the whole thing at my credit card debt, but I'm still driving around with no A/C in my car ... and, trust me, it's a miracle I've lasted this long without air! (It's been about 4 weeks since it went out.) I *hate* to sweat, and I live in Texas so A/C is a necessity as far as I am concerned. But the temps have been pretty mild still (highs in the low to mid-80s) and I have covered parking at work, so when I get in my car to drive home at 5:00 it's not too hot, and I can get home in 20 minutes. But the temps will be climbing higher now, and I need to get the air fixed. I just need to get a third opinion to try and figure out which of the first two opinions I got is accurate! Either way, the repair will be costly, and the $600 stimulus payment will only take care of about half, at most. 
But, I'm very grateful to have that $600 to help out!
Stimulus payment appeared ON TIME
