The 2009 stimulus package signed by president Obama contains quite a few financial stimulus for many different parts of the population. Infrastructure spending, tax cuts make up most of the bill but one of the key aspects to the package is a special cash payment. This won’t be like the general stimulus check of last year but will be given to select groups.

$250 stimulus check in 2009
A one time payment of $250 will be paid out in 2009 for people in the following groups:
- People currently receiving Social Security.
- State government retirees not eligible for Social Security.
- Disabled Veterans receiving pensions from the Department of Veteran Affairs.
- People receiving SSI payments. Supplemental Security Income payments are for people who have little to no income and is intended to meet the basic needs for food, clothing and shelter.
When will I get my stimulus check?
Treasury is supposed to start sending out these checks as soon as possible. This site will be updated when more information becomes available.
EDIT (Mar 11) – Please check out this new post for detailed information on the $250 stimulus check.

On another site they are saying that the VA has until June 30th, so it looks
like the July payment will include it. I won’t count on July 1st, but I
can hope.
The site I’m referring to is:

Butch……..did you see the time line on the other site that David posted on the 24th?
Yes Maureen, Im just (Hoping/Thinking) that mine will get here by Friday 26th.. and I know one Post said, all Checks should be Out by June 30th, & someone Posted there was two more batches to be sent out by the 30th… & if you dont get one by July 10th then call the VA…
So Less all Pray they all come by the end on the month!!!
You know what, I am so totally p….. off that 250 means so much to vets that sacrificed their lives for this country…….this money should be pocket change…….instead of a necessity…..its a sad world out there….if it wasn’t for you guys and gals where would we be……so I personally, am sorry, that things have gotten so bad over the years.
yes Most of us Live off of a Wing and a Prayer. day by day…..
Just in the past month, I have had to cut off my Home phone & Cable TV , Just to make ends meet & i pay as you go on my Cell Phone..
Im going to buy the MagicJack Phone thing after the first on July, the cable guy that came out to cut my stuff off says he has been in a lot of homes that has it and it realy works.
My husband was 100% disabled Vietnam Vet…..he has since passed away (at 45)…..In a way, Im glad he didn’t have to see what is happening to you guys…..it’s a total shame…..sorry about the raving but it just kind of got to me today. Take care and hope all works out.
