The changes basically allow Social Security benefits and disabled veterans benefits to count as earned income for purposes of satisfying the $3.000 requirement for earned income to get the prebates: $300 per person. $600 per couple. and even the $300 child credit. if applicable. So I think certainly that is an improvement to the bill in the sense that we will get more money into the hands of people who will more than likely spend that money very quickly and get that money working in the economy. The Senate also made some changes with respect to making sure that illegal immigrants are not able to take advantage of this prebate. these checks that are being sent out. and certainly that is a positive development. Madam Speaker. all in all. I think the product before us this evening is an excellent work of the two bodies on a bipartisan basis and. of course. with the support of the Bush administration.
