I have to prove my identity with my state refund, will this effect the time it will take for my return and will it effect my federal refund?

I checked the status of my state return, and for some reason it says that I have to prove my identity, so they've sent a letter in the mail with instructions that will be here in 5-7 business days. I'm really hoping that my refund is issued by the end of this month because I have to move. Will this effect my federal refund? And will this delay my refund time? Will it still be issued within 21 days of filing, or will I have to wait longer now? Help!!!

    If your Federal refund shows accepted, then it is not effected.  You should still receive your Federal Refund within a 21-day time frame.

    Although, your state refund will be delayed until they can verify your identity.
