Amount of total stimulus package of 2009?

---------------

For most Americans there won't be one.

However, there will be a one-time payment of $250 that will be sent to the following people only: '''recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security benefits, Veterans benefits or Railroad Retirement benefits. It will arrive separately from the regularly scheduled monthly payment and will come in by late May, 2009. [See this site: http://tinyurl.com/pdep2p for additional details.] I edited some prior things that were here and have provided this the last week: Starting Thursday May 14, millions of grandparents and retirees will see a $250 raise to their usual Social Security funds. The months long wait for stimulus payments for seniors, as part of the stimulus bill passed February, is now over, CNN reports. Nearly 55 million seniors and retirees will receive the $250 one-time payment between now and June 4, 2009. Most of the checks have been sent out this week (May 11, 2009). Payment will either be received as a separate check, in addition to Social Security payments, or appear in accounts as a direct deposit.
