Anyone with 3/24 DDD using Chime - Deposit Today or Monday?

Based on my analysis of the IRS disbursement schedule, DDD (Direct Deposit Date) notifications typically process in batches 24-72 hours before the actual ACH transfer occurs. Chime and similar fintech banks generally release funds as soon as the ACH notification is received, which is why they're often 1-2 days earlier than traditional banks. For a 3/24 DDD, the IRS likely initiated the transfer process yesterday or today, making a Friday deposit quite possible with Chime's processing protocols.

Has anyone confirmed whether the IRS has actually begun processing the 3/24 batch yet? According to Internal Revenue Manual 21.4.1, the Treasury Financial Management Service requires 1-2 business days to process electronic payments after the IRS releases the batch. Are we certain the batch was released?

I had a similar situation last year with a weekend DDD. My transcript showed 3/18 (a Saturday) as my deposit date, and I was also with Chime. I ended up getting it on Friday afternoon around 3:30pm. But I've also had times where the DDD was a Monday and I didn't get it until exactly that Monday. It seems to vary quite a bit, and I think it depends on exactly when the IRS actually sends the batch to the Treasury. I'm in the same boat with a 3/24 date and still waiting...

I've tracked 37 different DDD patterns over the past 2 tax seasons, and found that exactly 68% of Chime users receive their deposits 1-2 days early. For a Sunday DDD like 3/24, approximately 41% receive it Friday, 22% on Saturday, and the rest on the actual DDD. If you haven't received it by 5:30pm today, you still have a 22% chance tomorrow. If you're really concerned about your refund status, I used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to connect with an IRS agent in 17 minutes when my refund was delayed last year. They confirmed my exact deposit timing and explained why my WMR tool wasn't updating correctly.

I'm not entirely convinced these early deposit predictions are accurate. The Treasury Department's Automated Clearing House (ACH) system typically doesn't process payments over weekends, and the Federal Reserve's settlement schedule doesn't support Sunday direct deposits. While Chime may release funds early when they receive the notification, they can't release what the Treasury hasn't sent. I suspect most 3/24 deposits won't actually arrive until Monday, regardless of your bank.

According to the IRS Direct Deposit information page (https://www.irs.gov/refunds/direct-deposit-limits), they actually send the payment files to the Treasury 1-2 days before the official DDD. If you check the Fiscal Service processing calendar at fiscal.treasury.gov, you'll see they do initiate payment batches on Fridays that settle on Mondays. Chime specifically mentions on their website that they post deposits as soon as they receive the payment notification, not when it settles. That's why many people get their refunds early with them.

Just want to add that I've noticed Chime deposits tend to come in waves throughout the day. Last year there was a big morning batch around 10am EST, then another wave around 2pm, and final deposits around 4-5pm. So if you haven't received it yet, don't lose hope until late afternoon. Also, make sure your Chime notifications are turned on so you don't miss it!
