"WASHINGTON – More than 50 million retirees can expect to receive $250 payments from the government in the next few weeks as their share of the economic stimulus package enacted in February.
Economists say the payments will be a timely boost just as the recession is showing signs of easing a little.
The payments are part of the $787 billion package of spending and tax cuts enacted in February to help boost the economy. They will go to people who receive Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, railroad retirement or veteran's disability benefits..."
This will be a nice little boost! With all that was going on with my health, I wasn't able to update the blog to let everyone know that my husband heard back from his latest evaluation and was moved to PDRL (Permanent Disability Retirement List)! Which is incredible news for us, especially considering I'm pregnant.
He's a little upset just because he figures that the likelihood of ever finding out what caused his respiratory issues has dwindled even more now. But at least we will always have health coverage to deal with whatever may come from it in the future. Best of all, there won't be any more stress and tension every year from these evaluations!
So, overall, we're very happy about it!
