I found something online that tell you when - it depends on the last digits of your SS.

 Very interesting.  Too bad it's based on hubby's # and not mine :) Faster is always better.  It'll be interesting to see where this money as a whole gets "spent".  Not quite sure where ours will go. Probably to the oral surgeon to remove one child's wisdom teeth, .....that's so depressing :(   I hate it when I'm thinking I might get to do something fun or at least that I'll like and necessity steps in. Oh well, debt free is good....   Paying cash is good.....Having food to eat is good.......

We were going to just bank it (the stimulus check) but DW decided to take a class over the summer. That's okay by me, the sooner she gets her BA degree the sooner she'll get a job! LOL

 

We won't be getting our check till June or July whenever they send the people their money who don't do direct deposit.

But  that being said, we hope to save ours. If DH doesn't get a wild hair and want something that is, he has done well so far this year, no outrageous wants or purchases but April isn't over yet,and he usually goes a little bit nutz in spring, so I am holding my breath till after May first, then I will breath a sigh of relief, if he doesn't buy anything that is. LOL

 

we wont get one

gayla50...the same with us.

We are blessed that they are issuing them this year.We received a $2400 federal tax bill yesterday.

DD checked online and found we are eligible for a $1200 refund but because we owe the $2400 they will keep the check.This will cut the bill in half.

The CPA says we can make payments for the remainder.
