wtnhunt Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 The schedule for the economic stimulus payments going out has been moved up by about a week, so if you are expecting money you may get it before you expected it. Payments start going out as early as next week, link here http://www.foxbusiness.com/article/stimulus-rebates-start-arriving-monday_579666_39.html. If you are not sure when you were supposed to be getting a check, the irs has not updated its site, but you can go here http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=180250,00.html.

aksheephuntress Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 ...Yes, this will certainly be a much needed boost... -and our governor has passed an additional rebate(or, whatever it is..)$500 for each man, woman, and child up here, for sometime in May-that will be a Godsend, for sure!-separate thing from the Permenant Dividend Fund we have in Alaska, which pays out each Oct. ...fuel oil and diesel prices are nuts!

Tominator Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Should be interesting to see if the stimulus really works. Might help a little, but it's a bandaid on an artery I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hummmm...spent some of mine yesterday on necessities. A new 7' Falcon rod to replace the one I broke bass fishing last weekend, a new ultralight fishing rig along with some light weight line to fill the reel, and another rod for panfishing since it's about that time to start filling the ice chest with them down here. Just doing my part to stimulate the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig mack Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Like I said before, I just hope people spend it on American made products. I got a feeling alot of that money is just gonna end up in an Asian country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aksheephuntress Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hey!...A crazy idea just popped into my mind... -Everyone has heard of those money-making chain letters, right?? -I wonder if there was a way of us all taking our payments on that thing, and somehow plugging them into one of those multi-level chain letter payouts?? -We'd all be RICH!! ?

Strut10 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Should be interesting to see if the stimulus really works. Might help a little, but it's a bandaid on an artery I'm afraid. Could be. But my money is ALWAYS much more efficiently spent by me than by the government. If you don't want yours, Chris...............................................I'll take it.

buckbuster11 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Should be interesting to see if the stimulus really works. Might help a little, but it's a bandaid on an artery I'm afraid. Agreed. I'm certainly not going to complain about gettin extra cash from the government, but if they think this is anymore then/than a bandaid....they are kidding themselves.

ultratec1 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 How in the world do you know if it will be direct deposited?? Did you have to send something in stating that you wanted it direct or do they just do that if you had your tax return that way??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to send something in stating that you wanted it direct or do they just do that if you had your tax return that way??? It's dependent on how you filed your federal return I believe. If you elected direct deposit with your federal return, you're stimulus check will be the same way. If you had to pay taxes, I think you'll be getting it via snail mail.
