From the IRS web site....

...."Economic stimulus payments will be issued according to the last two-digits of the main filer's Social Security number. For joint filers, the payments will go out based on the person listed first on the return."....

Dammit....I have no idea when my welfare check will get here. :p

I wish I could find the source of where I read this, but apparently the stimulus check won't be considered a part of your 2008 taxable income.

That is correct. But it's considered a part of a one-time tax cut from the 2008 tax year.

(You won't get taxed on it.)

Nice

Well it's probally the only time we'll enjoy getting a check from the gubmint.

Uh, what did you have in mind? You want lookouts posted to monitor for people pilfering from mailboxes? I'm sure they'll get right on it. How about educating people to NOT send cash through the mail?

Buy a mailbox with slot in the front and lock the door closed.

Or have your mail kept at the PO till you go pick it up.

Just got mines thru DD. My SS ends in 56.

Already added to this months mortgage payment.

It's not just cash, bills are disappearing also. Basically anything going in or out that might have a check or a social security number in it have been suspect. My wife and I keep mail at the post office and run by to pick it up every two or three days, we pay bills on line and for the one bill we have (the local water bill) that doesn't do online billing, we mail the check from an official "theft proof" U.S. mail box.

One of the things I wish they would allow is my building of a slot in my front door or something like that. They don't. In my neighborhood, there are clusters of boxes along the street that have four or five boxes clumped together. It makes it easier for the postman to drive by and deliver mail. It also makes it incredibly easy for anyone else to drive by and take it. I'd like to see them install lock boxes instead. Cops could do a simple drive by after the mail was delivered once in awhile too.

Picking up our mail at the post office twice a week is a royal pain in the ass.

I suppose I could install one of these, at $150.

Should have gotten mine yesterday, the kid that sits next to me at works SS ends in 66, mine ends in 22 got his though.... I hate the IRS . Anyone still waiting from last week ?

Me...my SS# ends in 04 and I did DD for my tax refund...still waiting...I'm wondering if they are perhaps going off my wifes SS#....

Mine ends in 57, still waiting. Can't wait to pay off DiscoverCard. Will be down to just two lowly credit cards....

Mine ends in 22 as well. I just checked - mine has been deposited. Time to turn it around immediately to the credit card company.

nothing yet for me. We only get $1200 (just barely slipped in for that)...we had 2 dependents but they were 17 and 18 as of 12/30, and to get the kid credit they had to be 16 or younger. Not sure why that makes sense....

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

I'm a 61, wife is a 56. Nothing yet.

There doesnt seem to be any logic to how they are sending it out. I guess its cause they were 'early'.

May 9th for us.

Doesn't recognize my info.... guess I'm fucked...

last 2 are 54 BTW

Mine is 28 and was not there as of yesterday.

I wouldn't use a link from here. Go directly to the IRS website instead.

Could be phishing for social security numbers.

that is a good link. Check before crying wolf....

Mine ends in 54 it was deposited today..

Duh. Thats where that came from dude.

For those who may be worried that I've posted a bad link, heres the referencing page.
