Those whose payment information is not held by the IRS will receive a paper check instead unless they submit their details soon.
The first batch of paper checks is due to go out in the mail on April 24. Batches will be mailed out in the following weeks and months until September.
Lower-income households will be prioritized when paper stimulus checks are mailed out.
According to The Washington Post , which obtained the IRS plan for distributing paper checks, those with incomes of $10,000 or less will get the first batch in the mail.

I am a bit annoyed that they still use words like “infatuated” while at the same time reporting that office-style and public-restroom-style products producers are ramping up their poop-at-home-style range.

It’s a bit of a shitshow. Pun intended.
