The Senate Passes the Stimulus Package

After a few days of tousling over a much larger package, the Senate has passed the economic stimulus bill passed by the House.

Previously, the IRS said it would take them several weeks to start printing the checks because they’re in the midst of tax season, however they expect to be able to distribute the funds faster this time. Most people can expect to receive checks or direct deposits starting in May.
