The economic stimulus bill is about to create a $113 MILLION DOLLAR SPEND SPREE in North Central Ohio!   Approximately $328 MILLION DOLLARS are being handout out by the government to citizens in the 10 county area and it is predicted that 40% of that will be spent within the next few months.

The Economic Tidal Wave that is about to begin:

Taxpayers who receive their refunds through direct deposit will begin receiving payments by May 2, with all such deposits expected to be made within two weeks.  Then, starting by May 16, the rest of the 130 million stimulus payments will start going out as checks sent through the mail. Stimulus checks will be sent out in the order of the last two digits of the Social Security number used on a tax return. For joint filers, the first Social Security number listed will determine the timing of the couple's rebate check.  The IRS said the last of the rebate checks should be mailed by July 11.

The economic stimulus bill enacted last month provided for $600 checks for most individuals and $1,200 for couples filing jointly, with a $300 per-child credit added on. The stimulus payments will start phasing out for individuals with adjusted gross incomes higher than $75,000 and couples making more than $150,000.

Lower-income workers, Social Security recipients and veterans  making too little to pay income taxes would receive $300 checks as well, as long as they have at least $3,000 in income from various sources in 2007.

But those who owe back taxes or have certain other debts such as delinquent child support payments and student loans will have their rebates garnished.

Americans are expected to quickly spend 40 percent of the federal economic stimulus check they receive by late June, providing a $43 billion boost to the economy, according to a survey conducted for the National Retail Federation.
