letting folks who would be entitled to receive an economic stimulus payment but
do not normally file a tax return know what they need to do to get their payments.
I have included the write up from the IRS below. Please keep this in mind as
you consider if there might be any retired individuals in your churches who
could benefit from this and maybe let them know how they can get more
information. <br>

IRS is encouraging various partners and stakeholders such as charities,
churches and governmental organizations to assist in efforts to reach out
to those Americans who may be eligible for the 2008 economic stimulus
payment but who normally have no requirement to file a tax return. People
who receive certain Social Security, Veterans Affairs, Railroad Retirement
or wages from earned income or combat pay may be eligible and not know it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

IRS has created a special Web page for interested organizations: <a

Stimulus Payments: Marketing Products for Partners</a>. This page contains
one-page flyers that you can copy, the Package 1040A-3 (a 10-page booklet
that contains everything certain people need to file a return today), Radio
PSAs, Logos, etc. This page is part of the <a

Stimulus Payments Information Center</a> on IRS.gov, which provides
information on eligibility and other requirements. The IRS appreciates any
