Is the rebate check the same as the stimulus check?

Are You Sure You're Getting A Stimulus Package Rebate Check?

• Not if: 1. You owe the tax man money. (If you owe back taxes to the IRS or any state government, you could see your rebate reduced or gone altogether.) 2. You make too much money. (The rebates will begin to phase out for individuals with gross incomes above $75K, and for married couples filing jointly with incomes over $150K.) 3. You don't make enough money. (If you have less than $3K in qualifying income, don't expect a rebate.) 4. You don't file a tax return. (Many people with low incomes are not required to file a return, but will need to in order to receive a rebate.) 5. You're just unlucky. (the IRS warns that a small percentage of tax returns will require additional time to process. For these returns, stimulus payments will not be made according to schedule.) 6. You don't have a valid SSN. (Taxpayers without who use an IRS-generated ITIN will not be eligible for a rebate. If married and filing jointly, each spouse must have a valid SSN to receive the rebate.)

  oh not everyone will receive the 'rebate' check.. they are really just the money we owe our tax payers from the past 50 years of over charging
