Tax Transcript Shows 766 & 768 Codes with April 15 Dates - When Will PATH Act EIC Refund of $5,755 Arrive?

Looking at my transcript and wondering about the PATH act. Do I need to get the 806 credit before I see the 846 (refund issued) code? Here's what my transcript shows: TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20250605 02-25-2025 $0.00 30221-423-57172-5 766 Credit to your account 04-16-2025 -$1,642.00 768 Earned income credit 04-17-2025 -$4,313.00 This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data Right now I see my return was filed and processed on 02-25-2025 with cycle 20250605 with code 150. I also have code 766 showing a credit of $1,642.00 and code 768 for Earned Income Credit of $4,313.00, both dated for mid-April 2025 (April 16th and 17th). I'm still waiting on my refund and trying to understand the sequence of these codes. I don't see any 806 code yet, which I believe is the refund amount before credits? And definitely no 846 code showing my refund has been issued. Does anyone know if these April dates are normal and if I should expect other codes first? Are the April dates just placeholder dates until processing is complete? I filed early specifically because I needed this money, but now I'm getting worried because of the PATH act hold on returns with EIC. How long after these codes typically appear would I expect to see the 846 refund issued code? Is there a specific sequence these need to happen in?

The tax transcript shows your return was processed (code 150) on February 24th, 2025, with cycle code 20250605. You have two credits pending: a $1,542.00 credit (code 766) and an Earned Income Credit of $4,213.00 (code 768), both dated April 15th, 2025. The April 15th dates are standard placeholder dates for credits and don't reflect when you'll actually receive your refund. Your total expected refund appears to be $5,755.00 ($1,542.00 + $4,213.00). Since your return has been processed after the PATH Act verification period (which ends mid-February), you should see refund movement soon. The cycle code 20250605 indicates your return is processed on a weekly cycle, which means updates typically occur on Wednesdays/Thursdays. The reference number 30221-423-57172-5 is your unique processing ID, which can be useful if you need to contact the IRS about your return. No other transaction codes are necessary before receiving your refund (code 846).
