    Wow! I wish the Government was this discerning when doling out the bail out money to AIG and every major bank! Hardly a thought went into those emergency payments, yet the people who really need the money for luxuries like food and clothing get the closest scrutiny. Makes you proud doesn’t it?

    I don’t think it is right that children recieveing SSI benefits due to a disabled parent will not be recieving payments. This is the only support that i get from the absent parent which is not much and then the child does not qualify for the stimulus. Somethings sre hard for me to understand why were these children were left out?!!!!

  17. Renee on May 12th, 2009 2:18 pm

    it clearly states that children of disabaled parents are not entitled to the $250….Do I think it’s fair? NO but, that’s the rules

    It saddens me that my children recieve survivor benifits from SS, and can not recieve this benifit. We are living off there benifits, seeing I can’t find a job. We are the obes who need the help right now. And there are many family’s like mine. I love all my senior friends, But most of them have pentions and ss benifits.. But they can still collect it.. Where is the fairness.. Times are taught for all…. God Bless

    MY CHILDREN RECIEVE SS FROM THEIR DAD WILL THEY GET THE ONE TIME STIMULUS CHECK

  20. CLARENCE TUCKER on May 28th, 2009 12:28 pm

    MY QUESTION IS WILL OUR GRANDCHILDREN RECEIVE THE 250 DOLLAR STIMULAS CHECK FROM SS? THERE MOTHER PASSED AWAYS IN OCTOBER OF 2008 AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY RECEVING SS.

  21. Jennifer on May 28th, 2009 2:07 pm

    I think the mothers or fathers of children who recieve ss should also get a stimulus check. The
    way things are today these parents could use
    help too.Some working father or mother that left children behind were the bread winners for the family. Yes every surviving family member should
    get a stimulus check
