Even though this is a gov. check banks may take as much as 3-5 days to process it before it shows up in your account.

Call your bank and ask.

Often, a bank can see a direct deposit the day it happens (today), and you can't see it online

or, just give this one more day.

Ex: a bank can see your incoming direct deposit paycheck the day before it shows pending on online account.

Be aware that banks could possible be getting billions of calls.

Waiting a day would not hurt you.

it can take a couple days to process, call your bank.
