Stimulant payment booster.

"Beginning Monday-four days earlier than expected, the effects of the stimulus will begin to reach households," President Bush said Friday. "This money is going to help Americans offset the high prices we're seeing at the gas pump and at the grocery store."
Who gets a payment?
$600 to singles making less than $75,000
$1,200 to couples making less than $150,000
$300 rebates per child
As of next week, 800,000 tax filers daily will begin to have their checks directly deposited Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. No checks will be distributed Thursday, and 5 million payments will be made Friday.
Payments to taxpayers slated to get paper checks will start to go out May 9 - one week earlier than originally planned.
Checks are being distributed to people who file 2007 tax returns. Those who opt for direct deposit with the Internal Revenue Service will start getting payments before those who use the mail.
