EITC/ACTC Refund Scheduled for March 3 - PATH Act Delay Notice + 5 Day Early Direct Deposit Option

Just got a message about my refund being delayed because of the PATH Act (Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act) since I claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). They sent me this whole explanation with the following exact text: "Hi there, We're reaching out because you might have received incorrect information about when to expect your tax refund. We're sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused, and want to help ensure you have the correct timeline from the IRS since you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and/or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH Act) prevents the IRS from issuing early refunds (before mid-February) on any tax return that claims the EITC and/or ACTC. You can expect to get your refund by March 3 as long as you e-filed, chose to get your refund via direct deposit, and have no issues with your return. By February 22, the IRS's Where's My Refund tool should show an updated status for most early EITC/ACTC filers. When you filed your taxes, you chose to receive your refund 5 days early to the bank account of your choice. With this option, you'll have your federal refund deposited into your account 5 days earlier than the standard tax refund electronic deposit from the IRS. For more information on the timeline, including how to track your refund, please see this article from the IRS: When to expect your refund if you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit. Warm regards," Basically, they're saying the PATH Act actually prevents the IRS from issuing any early refunds before mid-February for returns claiming EITC and/or ACTC. I should expect my refund by March 3rd since I e-filed and chose direct deposit (assuming there are no issues with my return). They mentioned that the IRS's Where's My Refund tool should show an updated status for most early EITC/ACTC filers by February 22nd, so I guess I should check that. What's interesting is that when I filed my taxes, I apparently chose to receive my refund 5 days early to the bank account of my choice. According to the message, this means I'll get my federal refund deposited 5 days earlier than the standard tax refund electronic deposit from the IRS. Anyone else get this message? Is this actually good news or should I be worried? They included a link to an IRS article about refund timelines for EITC/ACTC claims, but I'm still nervous about the delay. The message came through at 11:54 on my phone, and I'm just not sure if I should trust it.
