Good news for Seniors in the Stimulus Plan

There is potential good news for the elderly population included in the $900 billion stimulus package that President Obama has taken to the Senate. Should the package pass without change, seniors who receive Social Security benefits would receive a $300 payment from the government. A $300 check would also be sent to those covered under the Supplemental Security Income program for elderly and disabled people living in poverty. These checks are a one time only payment but any little bit can help seniors and their caregivers in today's economy.
