Stimulus Checks Mistakenly Sent to 1,700 Inmates, Federal Agency Says – FOXNews.com — Meanwhile where are the checks for Cash for Clunkers? Also which dummy in prison gave up this information?
The federal government mistakenly sent out stimulus checks to 1,700 inmates, the Social Security Administration said Tuesday — a $425,000 error. Social Security spokesman Dan Moraski told FOXNews.com in a written statement that the money went out because official records “did not accurately reflect that they were in prison.”

Well of course that’s what they”re sayin’. They can’t very well come out and admit they sent it to themselves now can they?
Dude, this was probably intentional. Prisoners deserve stimulus money too!
Which is worse.

and the only group that can find me, is a CC corp tracking me for a 20 year old CARD I burned.
I hear the student loan people can find anyone. Maybe they should be tracking everyone so the government will have someone to turn to.
#3’s right. Sad, but ultimately effective. Their audience has short memories and attention spans. And, I never trust a news story that used the term “fair and square” in it. What the hell? Did a fourth grader write it?
Its part of the little known ‘cash for blaggers’ stimulus program.
Not that big an error rate and some of them were due the money at the time the money was designated to be sent to them.
