Will I still receive my refund if it hasn't been direct deposited by 21 days or the estimated timeline?

The 21 days is only an IRS target, it is not guarantee.

 

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
