When will the $250 Social Security stimulus check be mailed?
This is not known at this time but if the bill passes Congress then it is expected that the checks will be mailed sometime in the first quarter of 2010.
Will there be a stimulus check in 2010
Yes, there will be a $250 stimulus check for social security recipients as well as a $250 stimulus check for SSI recipients as well.
How much is the 2010 Social Security raise?
Unfortunately because inflation was so low in 2009 there is no cost of living increase or “raise” in the Social Security payments for 2010. This has however given rise to the $250 Social Security stimulus check which will be payable in 2010.
Will seniors get the $250 stimulus check?
You have to be receiving Social Security, SSI and a few other select criteria in order to receive the check.
What should I do with my $250 check?
There are many options for this money. Admittedly it’s not a huge pile of cash but every little bit counts!
- Reduce debt – If you have any outstanding credit card debt or personal debts then $250 would probably help to pay it down.
- Buy something – Need some new clothes or want to buy an consumer item? If your finances allow this then the $250 can be used for that.
- Donate it – If you don’t need the money then give it to someone who really needs it. A charity, relative or friend would probably really appreciated the cash.

please let me know when ill recevie my 2010 250.00 check ssi
When will i be recieving my 250.00 stimulus check? I can’t understand all the things your saying about it on the computer. I’m raising my handicapped granddaughter so i need to know. Thank you very much.
Is there going to be a 2010 stimulus check for SSI recipients ?
i don’t know what all these people are talking about but as far as i have seen on the news and read …….”NO”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(BLAME THE DEMOCRATS )
yes i feel that we should recive this stimulus check be cause we did not get a cost of living raise i’m totally disabled and it’s hard trying to live off of 680.00 a month paying rent getting med’s personal things u just can’t make it on this please help us.
the government doesn’t care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
congress got a raise in 2010. we are in a depression if they felt they deserved a raise then something is wrong with them I think they should all lose their seat when it’s election time. how big a raise did they get? ADD IT UP FOR A YEAR AND SEE JUST HOW MUCH MONEY WE COULD HAVE SAVED IF THEY JUST HAD THE GUTS TO SAY NO AMERICA JUST CAN’T AFFORD THIS RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE GOT TO CUT BACK ON GOV SPENDING BUT YOU CAN START IN WASHINGTON, AND NOT WITH THE SSA OR DISABLED WHO DON’T GET ENOUGH TO LIVE ON AS IT IS.
Would like to know if we are getting a stimlus check for 2010. Husband and I are both on disability and we could use all of help we can get as others are in the same state. We are finding we are running out of everything around the 3rd week of each month. We need your help.
Why are those 100% Disabled Veterans who fought for our freedoms, and paid the price not getting the $250.00 for 2010. They paid into SS when they were active in the Armed Forces. Before they became disabled?????
Last week I read 2 artiles which stated that seniors and the disabled would be getting the 250.00 checks in Conn. They promised that those who fall intothe “donut hole” will be getting the checks this month. Does anyone happen to have any other information on this? I doubt the Hartford courant could publish TWO articles on that if it were not true?. Any fedback on this information? Thanks.
why are you upset about not getting the “free” $250. Do you REALLY believe it is free “government” money. Where does the government get its money… FROM TAXES…so all you freeloaders who live off of SSI and the government, all you are doing is making taxes go up and putting a burden on your fellow americans. Get a job, or if you are TRULY disabled, then appreciate what you have and stop begging for more.
JB…How dare you ! Unless you ever have to walk in our shoes for even just one day, hen maybe you would understand what we go through even just a little. You are obviously just an opinionated jerk, who has nothing better to do with their time then to insult the elderly and the disabled ! NO one is begging for a free hand out, just looking for a little more help. When the government(OBAMA) squandered so much money on the big corporations in the bail outs, I am sure you were just fine with that though weren’t you? How did it make any sense to bail out the car industries, when the American people are losing jobs left and right, and having a hard time finding new jobs, SSI and disability people didn’t get the COLA for 2010…soooo…. just WHO is going to buy all these cars made ?? Yes, what the governament needs to do is help the “little people” MORE. I am willing to bet you didn’t have one gripe the year YOU got a stimulus check now did you??(that is of course you are even old enough to work, and not just some loud mouth kid running off at the mouth) you can Kiss my a$$ with your opinion !!

Kay they say June Thur august when people get the stimulus check for 250 dollars and they all be sent out
Just wanted to FYI everyone – my 27 yr. old son – finally approved after 2 years of waiting, recieved a letter in the mail Monday, June 21st (saying the $250.00 would be in his account within 30 days) – and a $250.00 stimulus check into his account Tuesday, June 22, 2010.
Good luck to everone!
My parents, on Social Security, have yet to recieve a letter or anything.
Doesn’t make much sense – since their SS numbers all fall within same numerical breakdowns, but we’ll see.
Hope this helps someone – keep the faith!
bettyanne, nobody has gotten any letters yet. where u from? i was told no 250 this year.
please mr. congress vote yes we are suffering we need please we are losing our homes and we have childrens to please help us we need that $250.00 to help out please pass the bill GOD are at what u’ll doing to his people. or president obama do something for us don’t we are going to get the stimulate checks and we get our hope up will someone help us please
im really sick and tired of people thinking that those of us who live on social security are free loaders. there is one thing you forget about. most of us have had jobs but could not keep them and also we still pay our taxes with every single purchase we make. do you even know what it is like to try to get a job with say epilepsy or even a muscular disease or child onset diabetes or even to be a retired war veteran whose only source of income for a period of time is donating plasma? you got to remember that alot of the people who live on social security busted there butt probably more than you ever did and you call them freeloaders. you should really go after those who are truly greedy instead of going after those who like myself wish they had a better financial life but have yet to be able to improve on it.
Will people receiving Social Security Disability receive the$250 stimulas check? I have been receiving SSD for 4 years and I will be 65 in September, 2010.
If we are getting the 250$ check,thn any one whom is receiving benefits(disability or otherwise) would be receiving the stimulus check but only one check per person wll be issued
ill tell you what realy gets me,the fact president obama actualy had the gall to state we would be getting these $250 checks taking our living raises away for 2 YEARS!!! and not having the nuts to come out and just say he made a mistake(oh of course he would never own up to lying)the man ignores his own statement,i have heard zero comment from him since he told us we would get that money,if there is anything i hate worse than a mistake its a FRIKKEN LIAR!ive never disliked a president in my life until months into this mans presidency,hell bill clinton would have addressed this issue months ago rather than leaving millions of people with their hands out and hopes up,at least instead of depending upon his bs word some could have been prepared to do without the money rather than the other way around,americans will have to be crazy to vote this man to a second term,it seems he may be one of if not the worst president of all time.thanks for your timely statements mr. obama ,enjoy your prime rib on the taxpayers dollar and dont choke on the bones.
i agree with you 100% george h…….i’ve said the same thing…he is the worst president we’ve ever had!!!!!! i’m glad i didn’t vote for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WOULD LIKE TO NO WHEN I,AM GOING TO GET MY STIMULUSCHECK. I GOT TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AN I HAVE TO PAY WHEN I GO. THANK YOU.
USED SENIORS JUST BEEN PUSH ASIDE AN THAT NOT RIGHT. WE PEOPLE TO . WHAT GOING ON OUT THERE. WE DON,T GET ENOUGHT MONEY TO LIVE OWN. WE JUST BE LOOK OVER. SGN H.B.W.
WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN WE WILL BE GETTING ONE.
to the hardheads who continu7e to ask when the checks are coming read my lips,WAKE UP MORONS OBAMA LIED TO US, THE MONEY HAS BEEN VOTED ON BY GOVERMENT AND THE ANSWER IS THERE IS NO CHECK! NO CHECK,SAY THAT OVER AND OVER AND LET IT SINK IN,and the shame is,no one has to answer to this lie,obama cannot be sued for his false statements nor imprisoned for basicaly inciting riots,tghe only thing we can do is make sure his time in office is a quick couple more years and out and find someone who cares about the old and disabled,the way these polititions talk about us and social security,the more i think they would support nazi euthanasia programs to execute us because of the unfortunate lot dealt us in life as long as they could get their grubby little hands on the money i earned and contributed to for the day i may need it. s.o.b. liars theives and hypocrites realy piss me off.OBAMA WHERE IS OUR DAMN MONEY? IN IRAQ? IN ISREAL? IN SOMALIA? GRENADA? VIETNAM? WTF?!?
JB you are what we call a true Dumb Ass. I have worked for 38 years and when I became disabled and apply for my disability I found out that there is no longer the total amount that you paid into Social Security The statement on your Social Security Statement page 2 in the middle of the page Says Your estimated benefits are based on current law. Congress has made changes to the law in the past and can do so at any time. The law governing benefit amount may change because, by 2040, the payroll taxes collected will be enough to pay only 74 percent of schedule benefits. In other word if you are under fourty you are screwed and if you are over fourty you should know better than to open you mouth before you get the facts after all you may have children or grand children what about there furture?
George h you too are a dumb ass President Obama push for the Economic Recovery Payment of $250.00 to be paid But our Senater and Congressmen voted this payment down and out. If people are going to be mad please get mad at the right people the Senaters and Congressmen who are responsable for refusing to allow this payment. also Dont get mad at President Obama for our enconomy being Screwed up the enconomy and the Budget was F*****up long before President Obama came into Office Put the Blame where it turely belongs with the Bush Adminastration We all know the truth The rich spend and the poor and middleclass pay for it.
has aney one reseved the 250 stumils check yet i dont thank we will get it
TO EVERYONE OUT THERE THAT HAVE A PROGRAM THAT HELPS PAY FOR YOUR DRUG COVERAGE, YOU WILL NOT BE GETTIND THE $250 STIMULUS CHECK. YOU HAVE TO REACH THE COVERAGE GAP WHICH MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY ABOUT $2800 A YEAR AND THEN YOU REACH THE DONUT HOLE, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU WILL THEN HAVE TO PAY 100% OF YOUR MEDICATION. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THE $250 STIMULUS CHECK AT ALL. WE MIGHT AS WELL STOP WINING AND COMPLAINING BECAUSE THE CONGRESS STOPPED US FROM GETTING THE CHECKS. I KNOW IT IS NOT FAIR TO US BECAUSE I COULD USE THAT $250 AS WELL. WE’LL JUST HAVE DO WITHOUT IT. ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE PROBABLY GOT THEIR RAISE, BUT THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT US POOR PEOPLE.

I work as at a law firm helping people get SSD/SSI, and our clients have already started to receive this $250 check… so It is coming.
so when r the people going to be getting there $250.00 stimulus checks,,,,,,,,alot of us can really use the money wright about now
Ok let me sum this up for everyone. I am not sure what part of no one is getting a stimulus check this year, that everyone doesn’t understand. There is a check being sent out, yes, but it is NOT, I repeat, NOT a stimulus check. Not all of us will get one. This check is sent to those people who have Medicare, and reach the donut hole(The amount you meet in paying for medications) THAT is the ONLY check is coming. SO, if you have a secondary along with your Medicare, Like Medicaid, that helps pay for your medications at a reduced co-pay, then it is very likely that you will not ever reach the donut hole amount all year. For those of you who do not have a secondary insurance that helps pay and give you reduced co-pay, even if you haven’t seen a check yet, as long as you meet the required amount, you will get a check then. Once you meet the donut hole amount, you will more then likely get your check within a month or two after . You can keep track at where you stand on your Medicare amount, from the statement you recieve every month that tells you how much you have paid out in co-pays thus far this year. It will show you the amount you need to reach, and the max amount.(the donut hole amount is the amount in between those two.)
I hope this has clarified this up for many of you who keep asking, “Where’s MY check”. Granted, I feel as though the way the governent is doing this is completely unfair to so many people. People who receive only MEDICAID will not ever see this check at all. If you have anymore questions, place them in this blog, and they will be forwarded to my email, and I will try to answer or clarify anything I possibly can.
And to those of you who keep blaming President Obama, although I am thoroughly NOT a fan of his, and I can’t wait until his term is over, or he gets impeached or something, THIS is NOT his fault. It’s the ONE thing he did want us to have…A $250.00 Stimulus check, just like the ones we got last year, however, the only ones you can blame is the senate, and congress. REMEMBER this when it comes time to vote again ! Go to your Senators’ websites and see how yours voted on the Stimulus that was voted down …
Vickie Stough, you are correct in saying that everyone needs to stop whining and complaining…however, that still will get you no where either. ACTION is what needs to be taken here !! AS I already have stated in a previous comment, check out the web site for YOUR Senators, see how they stood, and voted on the stimulus that came before them in two different ways. Write to THEM (there will be an email link supplied), tell them how you feel. And REMEMBER this when it comes time to elect the next officials for your state. We may have los the fight of a stimulus check for 2010, do research before voting. Ask questions. Find out how the ones running for your state stand on aiding the elderly, verterans and handicapped. Choose wisely,, or we will be in this same situation again in 2011. I notice alot of comments coming through from you, Always in caps…..I don’t know the purpose of this, and I don’t mean to sound rude, but one thing for sure, the majority of the whining and complaining comes from you. Don’t “YELL”, don’t whine or complain, as I said, research those running in your state. Write to them and ask very direct questions, see how they voted on the 2010 stimulus. Are they followers of Nancy Pelosi, or are they actually for the PEOPLE. Ms. Pelosi, is another person who needs to be replaced in my humble opinion. SO think carefully before you vote in November’s election ! HAve a good day !
