Where’s My Stimulus Payment – IRS Site

by

I can tell by the visitors stopping by via Google that many people are wondering about the stimulus payments. We didn’t get ours yet, but then again we weren’t supposed to be in this first round anyways.  Soon enough, it will come.

Anyways, I found a section on the IRS website where you can “Get the amount and date of your Economic Stimulus Payment now!”:

Where’s My Stimulus Payment?

Big note on this, from the site (I added emphasis):

We recommend checking the Payment Schedule prior to using this application since your payment information will not be available on this tool until the time that your payment is scheduled.

So, if you are scheduled to receive your payment via direct deposit next week, you probably won’t show up in their system until next week.

A Second Stimulus Payment?

by

My stimulus payment hasn’t hit the bank yet (I checked about five times today!). Last night, I caught a news clip on a Canadian channel that mentioned a possible second stimulus payment. That’s the first time I’ve heard of that. So I went digging to find out more.

From the BaltimoreSun.com (April 29,2008):

Democrats in Congress have said that the tax rebates aren’t big enough and have been pushing for a second stimulus package.

The package that they have been pushing may be the one referred to here at Boston.com (April 9, 2008):

Hoping to build on a $168-billion economic stimulus bill already enacted, Hoyer said new legislation would focus on broadening food stamps for the poor, extending jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed and investing in construction and other public works projects to create domestic jobs.

The legislation would be in addition to a series of steps Congress wants to take to shore up the U.S. housing industry, which is plagued by foreclosures that threaten to undercut the global economy.

That’s all I could find at the moment. It looks like there may be discussion about it but nothing more than that. Have any of you heard anything more about a possible second stimulus check?
