When does the $13 extra dollars go in to effect?

[TwixVoy]

Does anyone know when the $13 extra per pay check goes in to effect? Does it depend on your employer?

1. Thought I heard two months...may be wrong.

2. I just can't wait.

Instant recovery.

3. Well, that's a tad extreme a hope, but $26/mo will help to buy needless stuff like food.

Another DU put up a link to a service that provided a week's worth of food for $30... I hope it remained kicked or pinned at the top or something...

6. Buying a weeks of food for $30 bucks is counter-productive to stimulus.

Its too frugal. We got to blow this cash. Its the only way we will have instant recovery.

I'm spending my $14 dollars on over-priced plastic trinkets, so I can keep the companies booming that employ the trinket makers.

Instant recovery.

7. You mean the 13 bucks that's really worth about 5 bucks in todays economy? nt

12. All this talk about "change"

really just meant chump change. That's what people living paycheck to paycheck are getting. :patriot:

[laconicsax]

13. You know, it's funny, during the primaries, I said the same thing and got flamed for it.

While I thought I understood what it meant living paycheck to paycheck because it's been the best I could hope for for a couple years, I was shouted down by people who told me that $15 a week really helps people with no money.

17. While I think we're better off with

Barack Obama as our President, we're still fucked. The fact that he could look any one of his constituents in the eye after "giving" them $13 more per week is just more proof that he is either dishonest about his interest in helping blue collar workers or he doesn't have a fucking clue. Working people don't have a chance in this country any more.

14. $13 per week is what I understood it to be.

Prez Obama said workers should start getting approx $65 more on their paychecks beginning April 1st. That will help me with gas big time, given that I live paycheck to paycheck. Anything, not previously in my budget, helps.

[MzShellG]

15. But what about retired folks?

They get a one time $250. Does anyone know how that works and when?

16. Was June at 1st. I think I heard the President saying he was trying to get it effective in April

now.
