Yesterday, commenter Lisa White asked about the status of her coupons:  it seems that she applied for them on line in January, but they still haven’t arrived.

The process takes several steps:

1. You apply, either on line or by mail,
2. The NTIA approves the application,
3. The coupon card(s) are generated, along with a short list of nearby stores that sell eligible converter boxes,
4. The coupon is sent out via standard (not first-class) mail,
5. The coupons arrive at your home.

According to the NTIA’s web site, if your application was approved in January you should see your coupons any day now.  There’s a table on their web site that explains when they expect to mail out the coupons... better yet, if you scroll down the page you can enter your address and check the exact status of your cards.  Click here to check. 

Thanks for the question!
