Was told yesterday that the order by which the checks, electronic deposits, will be make is based on the last two numbers of your SS#. If this is true I will be near the bottom.

Wouln't you know it. Mine came much earlier than I expected and the washing machime died the same day. Waiting for the new washer to show up anytime now.

Used the rest to replace the camera and weed eater that went to visit my son and forgot the way home.

I have done my part so I now expect the GNP to grow at least 5% the next quarter.

It's in the bank. Where it goes is probably to be determined by whether Delta fixes my saw under warranty (Where did I put the receipt?? ) or not.

I have a low ss # and I was anticipating arrival next week. Until last night that is. Son calls and in hesistant voice asks for a loan in a roundabout way. Deal is made. My check for his but his won't arrive until July. I know he will stimulate the economy (pay his bills) but I was going to use that for some wood!

You did the right thing. I would have done the same in a similar situation. You will be rewarded for your generosity. Ok, maybe not. But it was a great thing to do anyway.

Got notice today mine is delayed. Since I used turbo tax and I elected to have my fees taken out of my return I now get my rebate in the mail.....

Mine showed up a couple days ago at the bank but was lower than expected. Stimulus check amount is proportional depending on the taxes actually paid and with my lowered income being primarily pension benefits I did not qualify for the max I will be stimulating the economy though with supply purchases for my first projects once shop setup is done

I had the same idea as Rick.

I sold my bass boat a few weeks before the rebate check was deposited. I planned on a new toy purchase to replace the boat (it's a rule, right?). My half of the rebate check went toward a wheel upgrade on the new toy.
