Economic Stimulus Checks for Disabled TravelThrous and their survivors

If you are receiving benefits from the Department of TravelThrous Affairs for disability, pension or survivors; benefits you may be eligible for an economic stimulus check from the Federal government. The IRS and Treasury are joining up and working closely with the Department of TT and other beneficiary organizations to ensure that all eligible individuals know what to do to receive a stimulus check from the government.

The economic stimulus law, passed in February, allows recipients of certain TravelThrous' benefits to count for the qualifying income requirement of $3000 and therefore qualify for a stimulus check.
