An Incentive to Spend $300
Wow, folks, here is some great news from Deeann Long at Community Action!
Individuals can get an extra $300 and married couples filing jointly double that to $600. Tell your friends and make sure everyone gets the good news.
This is what Deeann has written:
The tax stimulus package is available to retired individuals who normally do not have to file an income tax return. This includes individuals who receive: Social Security, Veterans Disability, Rail Road Benefits and SSDI. Anyone receiving over $3000 in these benefits will receive:
$300 for Single Individuals and
$600 for Married Filing Joint Returns
To receive the benefit individuals must:
Complete Form 1040A
Write on top of form 1040A ”Stimulus Package” in red Ink
Complete Name – Address – Social Security Numbers
Check Filing Status – Single or Married filing jointly
Insert Social Security benefits in Line 14A
If Married Filing Jointly, the total of both would be input in 14A
For faster refunds complete line 44a – bank and routing numbers (not required)
Sign the return and mail to:
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service Center
Fresno, CA 93888-0015
And more good news from Deeann is that the Watford City area will have access to these forms locally.
Form 1040A – with the above required information hi-lighted will be available at the McKenzie County Senior Center after March 10.
Deeann said, “The forms and envelopes will be provided locally.”
She didn’t say anything about a stamp, but I bet you can come up with that stamp in return for such a nice check! Many of you will be able to do your Christmas Shopping early this year!
And even better, if you need some help with all of this paper work check out your local McKenzie County, Outreach worker, Nadine.
Nadine Sovig will be available at the Senior Center in Watford City on March 19 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. to help anyone who might need assistance.
If you know of anyone who doesn’t know about this incentive, please help them get the information. Our country needs your help both to receive and spend the money!

What happens to people who only made $2,600? Why is the cut off $400 higher than that?

Beats me! Don’t shoot the messenger! I suppose the more you make, the more you get back.

Doesn’t feel like you have too much empathy for anyone really having to scrape to get an income. It would be nice if there was
a section on this blog for helping people who are really destitute.

I believe the intention of this entire blog site is to educate people about poverty. It is Our Vision to create new opportunities and in so doing lessen the poverty situations. Write a resume of your qualifications, interests, explain your talents and what you would really like to do and post it. Please don’t judge me until you have walked a mile in my moccasins.
