According to the payment schedule, I was suppose to get a paper check,mailed no later then 5/30. Today 5/31 I checked the "tracker" and it said no info. was available. What should I do and how long should I wait to do it?

*worried* No, it just means that your check isn't close to being mailed out yet. My husband has the last 2 numbers of "06" and he got a letter about 4 days ago saying he should receive a check by the 16th. Well, apparently they mailed them that day. Mine won't go out til June 25th.

You're right, these notices are a complete waste of time and money. This "stimulus" is not going to do much good anyway. The stated goal is to get people (or, as they prefer to call us, consumers) to spend the money. We had a discussion about this while with family at Easter and every single person planned to save the money, except for one who will use it to help pay off a credit card. No one said they were going to buy something with it.

This is ridiculous. We got two, of course. One for each. With the internet age and main stream media, I think you would hard pressed to find 100 people who didn't know about the details of the mailers. Waste. Of. Money.

The purpose for an "underlined" site on paper is because that is how people generally associate sites in visual form - much the same as blue links are generally construed as "linkable" items to be clicked on.

The vote buying package of 2008 is way too confusing. I will take what they give me and put it to good use, bu trying to figure out what the government is going to do is like predicting the weather. We all know something is coming and the prediction is probably wrong.
