The new Economic Stimulus package will do little to turn around our current economy.
However, many individuals will welcome the additional handout from “Uncle Sam?.
The $150 billion stimulus package focused on three areas: Families, Business, and
Borrowers.

Benefits to the Family

Consumers reporting 2007 earned income of at least $3,000 with adjusted gross income
of less than $150,000 (joint couples) and $75,000 (single) will see rebate checks
of at ranging from $300 to $1,200, plus child rebates. The checks will be issued
even if the individual reports no tax liability. Individuals will also receive another
$300 rebate per child. The 2008 recovery rebate credit will be payable in the form
of an advance rebate check based on 2007 return numbers. Individuals missing out
on the 2008 credit, can have a second chance to qualify in for the credit in 2009
