From the WSJ on Wednesday...

"Remember those economic-stimulus checks the government was handing out this year? Many taxpayers didn't qualify for the full amount -- or for any payment at all -- because their 2007 income exceeded a certain threshold.
But many people who lost their jobs this year, or whose incomes fell for some other reason, will get a second chance next year, thanks to a little-noticed tax-law twist."


This could help those who missed the rebate from last year due to income and have since lost their jobs / taken pay cuts. It could up some people out there. Thought I'd pass it along...

I can't imagine THAT many people missed out. Our household income is well into the top 20% and we got ours.
