VIDEO from Medialink and AARP: Economic Stimulus Payments for Millions of Retirees, Disabled Veterans and Low-Wage Workers Still Available

    NEW YORK, Aug. 13 /EMWPresswire/ -- More than five million Americans are

still eligible to receive an economic stimulus payment. In an effort to

reach the millions of retirees and veterans who still qualify, the IRS will

be sending out reminder information packets.






    (See video from AARP at:

    The package contains instructions and the 1040A form needed to file and

send back to the IRS before October 15th. The form will ask individuals for

basic information like their name, address and Social Security number. To

qualify, the person must have a valid Social Security number and an income

of at least $3,000. The minimum stimulus payment is $300 for a single

person and $600 for a married couple if they file together.



    To spread the word, the IRS is working with multiple organizations,

like AARP and the United Way, to reach as many people as possible.

Individuals can call the IRS or AARP if they need any help or have any

questions.
