With your money sitting there ready to be claimed, the IRS has a simple message. "We have your $300 or $600," IRS official Richard Byrd said at City Hall. "And we want to send it to you." At least 200,000 city seniors and veterans are eligible for the stimulus rebates but must file a 1040-A form estimating Social Security income or veterans benefits.
Anyone who is eligible has until Oct. 15 to collect. The IRS will send mailings to these households in the coming days with instructions.
Most people who filed tax returns by April 15 have already received checks of up to $900 for married couples with kids.
Some folks who normally don't file tax forms likely don't know that they could be eligible for the cash - but only if they send in the forms.
The mailings will target seniors and vets, but low-income workers who haven't filed a tax return could be missing out, too. "This money is yours," said Rep. Jose Serrano (D-Bronx).

many yidden are being shortchanged by the IRS if they have more than 3 children. Check the amount u r eligible for and call the tax man if they gave u less.

The IRS website provides a phone number which is not answered because of "too high call volume....".
Can take a long time to find out where your check is.
