Make the Most of Your Rebate: Millions of Americans can still fatten their checks from Uncle Sam

摘要

LOOK FOR FREE MONEY TO arrive in your mailbox (or bank account) soon. And, no, this is not a scam. Compliments of this year's Economic Stimulus Act, most single filers will get a $600 rebate and married couples $1,200. Parents will get an extra $300 for every dependent child under age 17. The first checks go out in May; if your tax refund is deposited electronically, your rebate will arrive that way, too. In fact, the money may show up in your account even before you're notified that it is on its way.
