Facts about $150 Billion Economic Stimulus Package:

Economic Stimulus Package Recovery rebates are in the mail! Most Americans have filed their taxes, and many have already started receiving their recovery rebates, but it's not too late to file for the rebate if you are a senior citizen, veteran or a person with disabilities who qualifies. To get your payment, file the 1040A tax form with the Internal Revenue Service by October 15. Even if you do not usually file a tax return, you must file the form in order to receive a rebate. 

 "I'm proud that Congress is working together in a bi-partisan way to rapidly put together a package to address the needs of our troubled economy. This is the first step in the process. Clearly there's work to be done, but I look forward to the House moving quickly to approve this stimulus package and I hope that the Senate will do the same.

Providing working Americans with timely, targeted and temporary relief to boost our economy is the right thing to do. Economists agree that putting money directly into the hands of those who will spend it quickly to stimulate the economy is the right approach.  I'm pleased this bipartisan package does just that."

This package will provide tax relief to working families and it will temporarily enhance small business expensing.  Families must file a 2007 tax return to qualify for an Economic Stimulus Package rebate.
