Shunika, The first thing to do is try using the official stimulus payment tracker on the IRS site. Keep in mind the stimulus checks can take up to 6 weeks to arrive, so it is possible the check is in route. If that doesn't work, I recommend contacting the IRS at 1-866-234-2942.

If you are already being garnished for a student loan, you should at least be able to keep the Stimulus Payment. In my opinion, it is unfair for the government to not allow the taxpayer to have this one-time gift/rebate.

Kelley,

I hope your car repairs don’t set you back too much! I have no idea what will happen with the elections, or gas prices, but hopefully things will work out for the best. They always seem to have a way of doing that.

I was planning on paying down debt so I could invest more in my 401k and start and emergency fund but wouldn’t you know my car boke down and I now have to spend all of the rebate on fixing it. so I’ve heard that hopeful obama wants to give us a gas rebate next…maybe if he gets elected I can boost the investments. I guess we will have to wait and see.
