Senior Stimulus Check in 2010

January 6, 2010

The Stimulus Check is when the previous president of the United States sent out checks to all citizens of the United States in the hope of easing the effect the economic downturn had on the citizens and their households.


In 2009, President Obama passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 which enabled several stimulus checks to boost the economy. In 2009 the stimulus check was given to United States citizens as social security benefits, military pensioners and railroad pensioners. A one time payment $ 250 was given. Senior citizens are eligible as well. Citizens who are employed were also eligible for the stimulus check in 2009 and it is very likely that they will qualify for the SSI 2010 stimulus check as well. Those who are employed are also given a tax rebate on their salaries, which gives them spending power.

The 2010 stimulus plan will be the same as the stimulus plan that was in place in 2009. Senior citizens, those living on social security benefits and pensioners are hopeful that they will get their check on a weekly basis, but recent reports indicate that President Obama has announced that a one-time $250 stimulus check will be made in 2010 to recipients of Social Security. However it’s up to Congress to approve this bill. Senior citizens in the country are really worried about not getting the stimulus check for 2010.

Who is really eligible for the stimulus 2010? – Those depending on Social Security payments, Pensioners, unemployed citizens, veterans and the disabled.

By what date in 2010 can senior citizens expect the check? – It is not known which day or month the check will be sent but rumor has it that the check will be finalized and will go out before the end of March 2010. According to officials at the white house, the costs of all the stimulus checks are to top $ 13 – $14 billion for 2010 as well.

However, even though there are reports that confirm that senior citizens are eligible for the 2010 check as well, President Obama has to justify to the lawmakers that this is going to help the economy

It said that the 2010 plan would follow the economic recovery checks sent out during the spring of 2009 to senior citizens, disabled workers and some veterans as part of the broader stimulus package. Those veterans who qualify would include those who are currently on disability compensation, dependency compensation, and pension payouts and veterans who are receiving social security benefits are also eligible for the $250 check.

The senior stimulus check for 2010 is eligible only to citizens of the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam.


The check is aimed at helping those senior citizens and veterans who are being hit the most by the recession. These senior citizens and veterans should be allowed to enjoy their retirement benefits, but sadly that has not been the case since the economic downturn.

However, government officials are keeping a tight lip when veterans query on when they will actually receive the checks

    Shame on you people.What is wrong with you? Look at your check on payday and see how much money is taken out for your ss and then hope like hell you live long enough to receive it.People you need to be glad for the people that get it and hope ss is still around when you retire.

    I just call my local social security office and they said we are NOT getting the stimulus money in 2010! They also said they have not heard about the cost of living increase for next year and would know in December.
