@CJ, Americas Great no work from 1999 til still and things are going to get worse. If you didnt figure it out capitalizm went bankrupt and there is no bandaire big enough to fix it. Feel sorry for those who havnt gone broke yet. You all will get a taste of reality real soon!

We are an accounting firm, doing tax returns. Is there a site, as there was when the stimulus payments were made in previous years, where I can enter taxpayers social security number, etc and find out if clients on social security received the $250 economic recovery payment?

@antiguy,

Here… let me take the foot out of your mouth for you Mr. …O’h you didn’t post a name… Antiguy, you don’t even have the guts to use your first name… and you come at me with “good thing you got that computer to hide behind” Little hypocritical there ANTIGUY! Even though it’s none of your business… I am also on SSA and have been for over 5 years now, and consider myself a Democrat if you must know… ANTIGUY. So you know, I’ll only reply to you once…. due to my rule of never getting into a battle of wits with someone that is unarmed. I really enjoyed hearing about your ENTIRE medical history also “NOT!” Just please keep your repulsive medical history to yourself… I was in a good mood until I read your post, Christ, now I feel like committing suicide for godsake. My reply to her back then was to try and somehow enlighten her on the issue that it’s none of her damn business what anyone else spends their money on… just because she’s in a bind does not mean she has the right to tell anyone where they should spend their money…. Maybe we should have that young boy stay home from the prom and he could cook her up a couple prime rib steaks… how about that? Maybe she would feel better then… knowing that the funds didn’t get spent on some dumb once in a lifetime experience that produces hundreds of memories that will in-turn be shared with others for years to come. I have degrees in Criminal Justice Law Enforcement and Management… and I know for a fact that over 30% of people whom eventually get approved for SSA and SSI are no more disabled then our President is. That accounts for hundreds of millions of dollars within a span of a year. Are you one of those people ANITGUY!? Maybe we should check into your past a little closer huh… what do think, yes? You seem quit articulate and have so much free time replying to posts throughout the internet…. Maybe we can get you a sit down computer job… sound good, or are you starting to feel chest pain again since I brought that up. It’s a good thing I have a computer to hide behind huh? …. email me antiguy, I’ll give you my resident address, oopps… or does antiguy mean you’re actually a woman whom is a Fanatic Freak who works for womens-lib.

@Walt, how old are you 14? i am on ssd and completely understand her outrage. though i do understand and agree that the 250 is yours and you are free to do whatever you want with it. it kind of burns to people who live from month to month barely making it.
as far as it being her fault she has no money. SHE IS DISABLED YOU SOCIOPATHIC CRETIN. ill bet anything you are a republican! for many people in this country, disability comes through seeking medical help for years and encountering gross incompetence from medical ‘professionals’ until their disability is permanent and tragic. forget malpractice because in the case of this kind of gross incompetence finding a doctor who will commit to giving a written acknowledgment of it is like seeking the holy grail. especially since there is a two year window on malpractice suits even in the event of LIFELONG DISABILTY OR DEATH! SO HOW IS THAT HER FAULT IF THAT IS THE CASE?
personally i had a 7 year period where i was misdiagnosed by dozens of doctors during which time i suffered three heart attacks which were misdiagnosed AND had had a social security doctor declare i was in good health and that my heart was fine and i was subsequently denied disability. less than three months later, i had another heart attack, a massive MI which was finally diagnosed and then i had a triple bypass, ALL BEFORE I WAS 40! (since then i have had another heart attack, three strokes,pulmonary embolism,CHF,etc. basically those doctors killed me and i am just waiting for it to be final) i had even gone to the administration offices of two of the hospitals i went to and told them i was not being diagnosed correctly. they did NOTHING to help! the fact is that most people in medicine do not care one bit whether or not you live or die as long as they get paid!
and to top it off, we have to listen to freakish, unintellectual comments from things (i say things because you have no compassion or humanity and as such are not human) like you. your comments to that woman are thoughtless,uninformed and cruel. lucky for you that you have a computer to hide behind huh?

@Sue Quint, The children of low income families are not immune to the needs and wants of other children. I consider prom and graduation expenses to be a perfectly legitimate use of this money. You, on the other hand, have heating bills every year and should include that cost in your routine budget planning.

@gwendoly session, He must have received a social security benefit last Nov, Dec 2008 or Jan 2009 to be eligible to receive the $250 stimulus payment.

my husband recieves a check from the VA is he eligible for the 250.00 stimulus payment?

When will you get your money?
Social Security is squeamish about specifying a schedule because it doesn’t want to alarm folks who might not get the payment when they expect it. But you should get your money within a few days after you receive your regular monthly benefit. If your benefit is normally deposited into your bank account on the second Wednesday of the month, for example, the extra $250 should show up by the following Monday. (Be sure to adjust your balance accordingly.)

Both of my twins (they’ll be 14 this month) receive SSI for themselves, not through us. We have not received the letter in the mail saying they are eligible for the 250.00. On some sites I read they are eligible and others aren’t. On that link of the Seattle paper that the admin posted it is really confusing. I don’t know if thats pertaining if you received the big stimulus credit you wont get this or what. I just don’t understand it. Please help! Thanks!

Hey Sue Quirky! or whatever, WOW! you have some gaul knocking on someone just for the fact that they decided to use their stimulus check for their sons Prom. Guess what LADY … the prom is a big deal to these kids and just because you were most likely dogged at your prom “probably” because of your winning personailty” isn’t anyones fault but your own. Its your own fault that you can’t afford food or money for your heat … work for it! and if your retired or older … you should have saved for the future, not anyones fault but your damn self!!!

@Sue Quint,
