Information on Stimulus Package

Updated

Feb. 13, 2008

Starting

in May, the Treasury will begin sending economic stimulus payments to more

than 130 million individuals. The stimulus payments will go out through the

late spring and summer.

The

vast majority of Americans who qualify for the payment will not have to do

anything other than file their 2007 individual income tax return to receive

their payment this year. The IRS will use information on the tax return to

determine eligibility and calculate the amount of the stimulus payments.

For

more information on the stimulus payments, including the amounts and

eligibility requirements:
