Obama Seeks $250 Check For Retirees And Veterans

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Earlier this month President Obama in front of congress suggested that they put together a plan that would send a second stimulus check to retirees and veterans.  This check would be sent early next year in the form of a 2010 stimulus check.

This stimulus check would be sent out instead of a cost of living increase for retirees and veterans alike.   Also a factor in the decision is that inflation has been negative as current recession that we’re in has been driving down prices of all goods in every market.

Who do I contact or call to find out why I didn’t get my stimulus check?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

If you haven’t gotten your 2009 stimulus check or have been asking where is my stimulus check you might need to contact your social security contact to find out where your stimulus check is.  or if you are  a veteran you will need to call your veteran office.

By now, it is well past the last date to receive your stimulus check before calling the social security office to inquire about your stimulus check.

Will the american taxpayers receive a stimulus check for 2009?

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Will the American taxpayers receive a stimulus check for 2009?  How will the mortgage modification program outlined work if and when some lenders refuse to cooperate with the stimulus package?  Will there be any other sort of 2009 stimulus check given out this year? Will there be a 2010 stimulus check?

Only a small percentage of Americans will be eligible and benefit from the 2009 stimulus package for a stimulus check in 2009.  Americans that are on social security and other retirement incomes will receive the 2009 stimulus check.  All other Americans that are working will receive an increase on their paycheck in the form of of a tax credit totaling $400 for 2009, about $13 per paycheck.  Those on unemployment benefits have a few benefits as well from the stimulus package.

The mortgage modification program does not apply to everyone nor is everyone qualified for the program.  Those that do meet the requirements for buying their first house and in the certain time period that it is bought will get the benefits of the mortgage program.

This is the only stimulus check sent out in 2009  for those on retirement incomes.  If you didn’t get one yet and you weren’t eligible to receive the one sent out you will not be receiving one.

As of this time there is no information on if there is a 2010 stimulus check or how it would work.

When will I recieve my stimulus check

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

This years 2009 stimulus check are now starting to go out.  I’m not sure of the method they are using to send them out so it is different then last years stimulus check that was based on the last two digits of your Social Security Number or SSN.  The process the government is using is sending out letters to those that are eligible saying that they will be receiving a stimulus check, then a few weeks later they will receive a check or transfer into their account.

Why they didn’t just send the checks directly instead of a letter, I’m not sure.  It would have been much easier on everyone had they just done that.

For those of you that are working you should see your ~$20/week extra showing up in your weekly paychecks from the tax adjustment that Obama started.  Over the course of the entire year, you’ll get about what you got last year as a stimulus check.

Vice President Joe Biden Receiving $250 2009 Stimulus Check

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

In a almost ironic twist to the 2009 stimulus check situation going on right now, Vice President Joseph Biden who is eligible for social security will be receiving a $250 Stimulus Check in the mail this month.   Joe turned 66 last November making him eligible to receive social security thus, able to receive the 2009 stimulus check going out to those on retirement incomes.

Besides the fact he made $169,000 last year and will earn $227,000 this year as Vice President of the United States behind President Obama, he is still able to receive a 2009 stimulus check.

24 million Americans received a $250 2009 Stimulus Check on May 7, 2009

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

On May 7, 2009 the US Government made many Americans, 24 million to be exact a little bit richer.  One of the first rounds of $250 2009 stimulus checks went out recently making up nearly half of all checks that are going out to those that are eligible.  The single day total of money injected into the American people’s pockets was about $6 Billion dollars.  This is similar to to the $250 stimulus checks going out to those on Veterans Affairs pensions and Railroad Retirement Benefits.

These checks were made possible by congress who decided that elderly and those on Social Security shouldn’t be left out on this year’s stimulus package when they decided upon the $400 ($800 married) tax break credit for those that are still in the workforce.

$250 Stimulus check sent to a women who over 40 years ago

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

In a story that is almost comical, a man from Orchard Beach, MD says he just received a stimulus check for his mother.   His mother died in the year 1967, nearly 42 years ago.

A Social Security Administration official stated that they were rushing through as many as these stimulus checks to get them out as fast a possible and they weren’t double checking recordings on everyone that has been sent a check thus far.   In the case of Rose Hager, who died in 1967, she hadn’t received a Social Security check from the department since then but they had no record of her death so they presumed that she was still alive and well.  Thus, the Social Security Administration office sent her a 2009 stimulus check for $250.

There may be over 10,000 such cases where stimulus checks are being sent to someone that has passed away.
