Eligible Seniors Should Have Already Received $250 Stimulus Checks
By now, many senior citizens have received their $250 stimulus checks from the U.S. Government in the mail.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides for a one-time payment of $250 to adult Social Security beneficiaries, and to SSI recipients, except those receiving Medicaid in care facilities. To receive the payment, the individual must have been eligible for Social Security or SSI during the months of November 2008, December 2008 or January 2009.
Though the payment is separate from the regular monthly Social Security payment, it is being sent in the manner the senior normally receives the regular Social Security payments -– by direct deposit or check.
If you didn’t receive payment yet (the “target” date was June 4, 2009), contact your local Social Security office to tell them your payment has not arrived.
Check the Social Security website for answers to more question about the stimulus check.

I had called Social Security twice and went to our local Social Security Office to ask why until now I have not received my $250.00 stimulus money. Every time I called I was told that I am eligible but was not in the list but they will inquire about it. I started inquiry since June 2009 but of no result. It seems like all my effort with Social Security is in vain.
What can I do to get some one to help me?
