Economic Stimulus Check?

[TNTtoys]

We're getting about 2400.00 in this Friday (direct deposit)Greg

Greg,

How did you find out the exact date you are getting the direct deposit? I was told a general timeframe (which week to expect the money) but also heard that they are "running ahead of schedule." Needless to say I don't have the money nor a clue.

Thanks
Nick

3 words: bags of rice.

i know a gravytrain when i see one.
laugh now but when the rice riots hit the US and i'm sitting on 6 tons of basmati, i'm going to look smarter than bushing at a flea market.

On the internet you can look it up. If you got it direct deposited you'll get it much faster. It's done by social security #.

Otismalibu,

Thanks. That was the original article I saw. Sadly, based on my ss#, I am the last lot.

After this came out, I did read that the IRS was running ahead of schedule and that the deposits would occur sooner. That was the last I heard.

I suppose that the worst case scenario now is I need to wait until 5/16. There is I guess a glimmer of hope that it could be sooner.

All,

I just found this article:

http://www.kfvs12.com/global/story.asp?s=8228550

It states that the checks are being mailed sooner than the published dates from the IRS; the direct derosits are 4 days ahead of schedule.

Original dates were: May 2, May 9, May 16
New dates are: April 28, May 5, May 12.

I guess we have our answer...

zero of that check is going towards collecting - 100% is going toward my student loans

Unfortunately, I will not be receiving a check. I make too much.

Same here!!

I thought the same thing until I realized that $1500 will not even come close to denting my loans - what's another 6 months on 30 years?

I was supposed to get mine May 5th and have yet to receive it yet!!
