Are we receiving a stimulus check in 2009?

Obama said yes.

No one knows for sure, although many for some reason thought it was going to be done first of the year that is far from the case.

The new president elect wants there to be one, so most likely there will be, but Congress will have to pass a bill to approve it, and the details worked out, and funding found for it.

Then the IRS will have to do it.
You can most likely expect them toward middle of the year

Hi, sweathe1!

I don't know for sure, but hope that it happens.

With all the ideas about stimulus involving the economy with the new administration, I would think that it would be likely that we will. But, I think that the new administration will also be looking at how successful the last distribution of stimulus checks was, as far as improving the economy or not, in making their decision to do that or not.

Thanks!
