prole Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Don't worry everyone. The Depression has been averted. The Internal Revenue Service says overdue economic stimulus checks will soon be mailed to about a quarter of a million married couples who had been denied the money because a spouse's married name and Social Security number didn't match... ...Those people should be getting letters within days telling them how much they'll get. The checks should arrive by the end of the month, according to the IRS... ...Either way, the news was welcomed by Sam and Elaine Vilardo, both 51, of Sinking Spring, Pa. After the couple married in 2001, she failed to register her name change with the Social Security Administration. When they called the IRS several months ago, they were told they'd have to wait until next year for the stimulus money because of that oversight. Not anymore. "It's great news," Sam Vilardo said Monday. "We've already spent the money, so we might as well get the check."-- AP 10/14/08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
