Are people on disability going to get a stimulus check???

i'm curious about this too. i could really use a few bucks. seriously.

Everyone accuses the democrats of being bleeding hearts and wanting to just give handouts. But this is hardly the case.

Rather Democrats believe that we are only as strong as the weakest in our society.

If people at the bottom have no hope they will not strive to make themselves better. So we believe that they need to have a level playing field so that the bottom does not fall out and they tear the rest of us down.

The GOP is led by very greedy and heartless people, even though they say they are compassionate. This is pure nonsense. They have never done anything to show compassion.

They have certainly done nothing to help the poor. And the only reason that they are now concerned about the middle class, with their economic stimulous plan, is because they realize that working people are the backbone of our society.

The Republicans could care less about anyone on disability or someone who cannot afford insurance (even though they work three jobs) until they have a family member that suddenly is fighting for thier lives. Only when it hits them in the pocket books or hits them upside their dense heads will they wake up and see the real world around them!

They're like Columbus discovering the new world!

The news said checks to be sent out about May of this year and the following will receive:

Taxpayers would receive $600 single

If they have a child....another $300

Couples would receive $1200.

LOW INCOME people will receive $300...

No mention of disabled people on Social Security or SSI or Veterans receiving pensions.....

IF they don't receive it.... It will be grossly unfair and another form of discrimination. If the disabled were ABLE to work, they would. They also reported that food stamp and unemployment programs will not receive any funds.

The do-nothing stimulus check, whenever they get around to mailing it out, will have limitations, no doubt.

It probably looks to reward mostly those with lower paying jobs and support households.

It doesn't seem as broad based like the last Bush raiding of the Treasury way back when.

This could lead to protest by folks in your situation.

Believe me, you have all my sympathy because there is no substitute for good health.

I hope it doesn't exclude people like you who only wish they had all their faculties to go to a job and produce.

You might consider writing to your Congressman about this.

That's what I would like to know too.

I'm in the same boat as you are. ($6444 a year)

(Hey! How about that $12 increase they gave us this past month?! Whoo! I can certainly buy that Mercedes ZX-911 I've had my eyes set on all this time...what? You don't want my money? Cheap bastards! lol)

No, the republicans in congress don't feel they are worthy. They prefer to give the money to people that don't need it.

If Congress can agree to get it passed

yes, if you pay taxes. Other than that, what is being 'rebate' if you havent paid taxes?

Let's hope not. Democrats = taking money away from hardworking taxpayers and giving it away to others in return for their votes.

i dunno he could be lying like all of them
