Will there be a stimulus check in 2010
Yes, there will be a $250 stimulus check for social security recipients as well as a $250 stimulus check for SSI recipients as well.
How much is the 2010 Social Security raise?
Unfortunately because inflation was so low in 2009 there is no cost of living increase or “raise” in the Social Security payments for 2010. This has however given rise to the $250 Social Security stimulus check which will be payable in 2010.
Will seniors get the $250 stimulus check?
You have to be receiving Social Security, SSI and a few other select criteria in order to receive the check.
What should I do with my $250 check?
There are many options for this money. Admittedly it’s not a huge pile of cash but every little bit counts!
- Reduce debt – If you have any outstanding credit card debt or personal debts then $250 would probably help to pay it down.
- Buy something – Need some new clothes or want to buy an consumer item? If your finances allow this then the $250 can be used for that.
- Donate it – If you don’t need the money then give it to someone who really needs it. A charity, relative or friend would probably really appreciated the cash.

“In relation to affluence, the US lies at the bottom of the list of rich donor nations. It gave 0.15 percent of gross national income to official development assistance in 2003. By this measure, Norway at 0.92 percent was the most generous, with Denmark next at 0.84 percent.” ~Christian Science Monitor.
But much of our aid is quite self-serving. The money we give is often given with the specification that it be spent on big building projects, which our corporations will carry out. Someone said that foreign aid is the means by which the poor people of a rich nation give money to the rich people of a poor nation. Read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man – or just google john Perkins’ ‘Speaking Freely’ – he talks about the truth of foreign aid. The one thing it isn’t usually used for is to help the poor. Mostly it goes to dictators. The biggest recipient of our aid is Israel, and second, Egypt – neither of them are necessarily poor countries. Another good book on the subject is The Shock Doctrine, by Naomi Klein. Joseph Stiglitz has also written on the topic.
hello i sent a letter to someone who works at the wall street journal and they wrote back saying not to worry those checks will be passed out it cant not happen…
thanks
tom
@Thomas – it was voted down in congress. It will have to be voted on again before it can happen.
i can tell you, i have heard from sen. shumer of ny himself that he is going to piggyback our $250 checks on a bill that will not be voted down. go to his site and email him nicely and he will respond,george h.
Well I hope he does it. Meanwhile, we’re still getting screwed. There are countries in the world where everyone has health care and no one has to live in the streets. We are citizens of the richest country in the world, and we might as well be living in the third world. Resist.
If you want to know the future of the human race read the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire. The number one Reason? CORUPTION! After a long while of seeing and experiencing it, we tend to accept a certain level of it. It’s the ‘foot in the door syndrome’, once in, it runs rampant. It takes Human Beings roughly 250 – 300 years of oppression before they will act as an organized group. On another note to all that are going to the streets because of this ‘no check ‘ issue, you do realize that in any other country(other than the obvious ones) you would have long since died or been put in a labor camp of some kind. There is no free ride in life, however this great country of ours trys to give you some help. I say great becuase it is made up of “THE PEOPLE”. We are ultimately responcible for what happens here. We do vote these morons in. We also leave them sit there for YEARS and YEARS screwing us. Politics was never meant to be a career. You volunteered to serve your country. These people are human and subjected to human frailities, such as accepting money for thier vote. Again accepted behavior, that actually should be crimminal. We have to vote the incumbants out. I have heard people actually say” What would that do? Give us a bunch of newbies that wont know what to do”. People! the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome.
Peace to all of you, I hope you understand what I am trying to say.
Most advanced nations are far more generous with their citizenry, including the elders and disabled and poor. Far from having labor camps, Europeans have decent public housing, and medical care way better than ours. As expat americans in Paris said in Sicko, THERE the fovernment fears the people – HERE the people fear the government.
Then I would say, Why are you here? If Life is so much better ‘there’, how come? As far as either side ‘fearing’, I don’t think that is true except in a dictatership. Apathy is the weak cornerstone in the US. One measuring stick for that is the voter turnout. I am not sure which Euro countries you speak of, but in the Service of this country and being sent overseas, I didnt see what you are proclaiming. I wasn’t ‘looking’ for it either so maybe I missed it. I did see dormatories (i forget what they called them excatly) where people could stay breifly. I also saw them having all their belongings stolen. I am not sure if any country (as a whole) ‘takes care’ of the disabled. I have been disabled and in a chair for over 25 years. I live on the west coast where things are setup for the disabled. I was born in Chicago, I wouldn’t live there being in a chair. Even the sidwalks are not handicapped accessable. Things are not perfect anywhere. The world is not a perfect place.
thank you the obama administration for prayers answered $250.00 sure came in handy last year and once again coming this year from all those who did invest everything they have had in you etc etc
My questions is will the people who receive Social Security in Puerto Rico will they receive the stimulus too.
with congress passing the new health care reform bill, and closing the doughnut hole for seniors on their medicare prescription drugs, I see no chance of the 250.00 stimulous payment this year……….. its a realm shame seniors have to take a back seat, so that all of congress can have a raise…..
Also , as far as homeless people, if the US did not spend billions on a needless sensless war in iraq, we would have billions to fund health care, homlessness, and seniors would have thier cola also…….. we waste too much of the tax payers dollars on sensless expenses overseas… we need to keep our money here, after all, we live and work here not in iraq, china, india and everywhere else in the world
Aimie, That sure sounds like a nice peaceful dream you have going on there. I have had that dream myself a time or two. Mostly when my son was serving in the army and was in Iraq. However I am sure that if the government was able to reduce or even end the spending of money that is used overseas that the new bounty of funds that came back home would be spent on themselves or pet projects that would help their re-elections. I’m sure the little people would never see it
when is this stimullus check suppose to be distributed
Congress voted NO for a $250.00 stimulus for disabled and seniors in 2010.
how the hell does congress now what the hell I need.
it’s a bunch of bs ……………..thank you congree you sinners have greatly screwed over the american people…
you said it Dorann….i agree completely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not certain about this, but I heard something about the stimulus checks would be sent to us under the ‘Jobs Bill’ or else the new ‘Health plan’. Of course, I am not sure; does anyone have any information on that?
i heard jobs bill too but don’t know anymore than that yet.
Thank you, Susan. I have a funny kinda feeling that the President will find some kind of a way to get it to us. But I may be too much of an optimist also. lol. Let’s allkeep praying for this. Prayer works! Thanks.
i heard he tacked it on the end of the jobs bill but congress didn’t think it was important enough to pass before they went on vacation so it will take a while to see if we will get it!!!!
i am not going to believe anything will be done until i get the ck in my hands. I don’t understand why we don’t get anything we basically live on nothing………………..
FYI, A friend’s husband had $250 deposited into his checking account today 4-1-10. I have looked all over the web for this but came up with nothing. Does anyone have any new updates?
i would like to know if we are getting stimulus check for sinior for 2010 year it would help the poor siniors please mr president & nacy pelosi do something for us mariana
Oly, I thought that Congress Did vote at the beginning of March, and the stimulus was voted out 50-47… I am so confused. I too have signed your petition, surprising at it was, once I did , I saw that was only 1 of 5 from my state to sign it.. I have forwarded the link to others I know, and hopefully they will also sign it.
Oh, another thing I heard was that a rep. (can’t rememebr the name however out of NY) was finding a way to piggy-back the stimulus onto another bill that needs attention, but it hadn’t been voted on at the time I heard about it, because it got pushed aside while they all went on a long weekend off. Have not heard anymore about it as of yet.
There are So many stories out there, I don’t know which ones to believe anymore, I just know I certainly hope we do get the $250 stimulus, because every dollar will sure help.
You do a great job Oly…thank you
are we getting the 250 stimulus check when are we getting it we need it the took the raise from us on are social security check
actually it looks like people on a fixed income are not getting any help at all!!!!!…..the new government DOES NOT care about us!!!!
Hi all I have not received any stimulus help what-so-ever this year! They took our raise and made false promises! Shame on them! I would have liked the raise more than the stimulus…. at least that was a promise always kept ,until this year! no inflation?? where have they been.. rent went up gas went up utilities went up price of food went up I have seen more increases lately, than I have in a long time. *Distraught*
Dear U.S. Government,
if you know what’s good for you you’ll send me some more damn money.
republicans, stay out of this.
LOL.. ya Michael. thats the way to get stimulus .. nooo you wont get any jail time for threats.. newp.. (note my sarcasm!)
will we get the stimulus check this year because people need it for bills and ect. it helps alot if they werent going to give it to us they should of gave us raises on our checks at the first of the year
I am on disability and home school my son,he receives a survivors check. It sure is hard to take care of his needs when all our money goes on bills and I am tired of living like we have nothing. The Federal Government needs to get up off its butts and get some thing done about those of us that have to search for a way to stretch the almighty dollar so far it is ripping in order to survive. Every cent helps and I am not seeing much in the way of help.
they are sending to GREECE our stimulus check to help their economy
what month the check is coming
I earn 684.00 a month with the aide of ssi. I am 68 yrs old and yes, in realtivly good health. my rent is 510.00 a month and I have had to sell my car due to lack of funds. There are many women of my generation who chose to be housewives in the same predicacmet. Shame on you for overlooking us. We helped this generation through the doors it has now entered and this is how you repay us!!! A stimulus check meant the difference between a good life and survival. thanks a lot. Seniors, remember this at election time
never???!!!!
Are we getting the stimulus checks in 2010 or not? Some say it is a dead issue because Congress never approved such a package. We who are on fixed incomes at or about the age of 70, need to be told the truth. Yes or No? Is the government issuing such checks or not??????
the government is to busy screwing up health care and stopping online sales of tobacco to help us!!!!!! they want to take more money from us not give us money!!!!!!!!!!!! electing Obama was the worse mistake this country has ever made!!!!!we finally found a worse president then Clinton!!!!!!!!!!
It is a shame that the illegals get more benifits then then Americans that have worked and paid their dues into Social Security. If you have not work and paid into Social Security then you SHOULD NOT receive a dime.
If you are an illegal emigrant and work in the USA and pay into Social Security, thats to bad you do not get Social Security either. Maybe you should have thought of that when you crossed ours borders with out papers.
America need to start taking care of our own first.
I just heard that Connecticut Seniors will be receiving the 250.00 checks to cover the “donut hole” for the Part D Prescription Plan. They are sending these out to seniors in Conn. in June 2010. Hope this info helps.

When will i be recieving my 250.00 stimulus check? I can’t understand all the things your saying about it on the computer. I’m raising my handicapped granddaughter so i need to know. Thank you very much.
Is there going to be a 2010 stimulus check for SSI recipients ?
i don’t know what all these people are talking about but as far as i have seen on the news and read …….”NO”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(BLAME THE DEMOCRATS )
the government doesn’t care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
congress got a raise in 2010. we are in a depression if they felt they deserved a raise then something is wrong with them I think they should all lose their seat when it’s election time. how big a raise did they get? ADD IT UP FOR A YEAR AND SEE JUST HOW MUCH MONEY WE COULD HAVE SAVED IF THEY JUST HAD THE GUTS TO SAY NO AMERICA JUST CAN’T AFFORD THIS RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE GOT TO CUT BACK ON GOV SPENDING BUT YOU CAN START IN WASHINGTON, AND NOT WITH THE SSA OR DISABLED WHO DON’T GET ENOUGH TO LIVE ON AS IT IS.
Would like to know if we are getting a stimlus check for 2010. Husband and I are both on disability and we could use all of help we can get as others are in the same state. We are finding we are running out of everything around the 3rd week of each month. We need your help.
Why are those 100% Disabled Veterans who fought for our freedoms, and paid the price not getting the $250.00 for 2010. They paid into SS when they were active in the Armed Forces. Before they became disabled?????
