Stimulus Checks Are Coming Soon!

Back a couple months ago, I wrote about stimulus checks coming in the mail soon.
http://www.magiccoalcity.blogspot.com/ Well, for some they have already arrived, while for the vast majority of us, we will have to wait a little… perhaps even more if you received your refund via paper check and not direct deposit.

If you received your refund via direct deposit, you'll receive your refund based on the last two digits of your social security number as follows:

Last two digits = Payment will be delivered no later than
00 through 20 = May 2
21 through 75 = May 9
76 through 99 = May 16

If you chose the paper check method on your 2007 Federal income tax return, your stimulus check will be mailed as follows, based on the last two digits of your social security number:

00 through 09 = May 16
10 through 18 = May 23
19 through 25 = May 30
26 through 38 = June 6
39 through 51 = June 13
52 though 63 = June 20
64 through 75 = June 27
76 through 87 = July 4
88 through 99 = July 11

Many are saying they will save the money or pay down debt with it, while others plan to spend it immediately. What are you planning?

Haven't received it yet, but should have?

Perhaps you didn't qualify. (Some of this is discussed in the blog post found here http://gcdailyworld.com/blogs/chriswathen/entry/17386/ )

Still don't know why you haven't received it? Contact the IRS, not me.
