Americans are confused about what happened to the stimulus check deposits that were supposed to show up in their bank accounts on Wednesday.

The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service launched the “Get My Payment” web application allowing people to track their payout, which was hit with early glitches at the time of launch.

About 80 million people were to receive the deposit this week, the Treasury Department said on Monday. But Wednesday, many people expressed concern when the government website said the cash, up to $1,200 a person, was sent to a bank account that didn’t seem to belong to them.

The events unfolded in a similar manner for several of the people who reached out to the IRS via Twitter. They would submit their contact information into the government’s payout tracking portal, and the results would show that the money was scheduled to be deposited April 15.
