Upton Concerned Seniors Won't Receive their Stimulus Checks

Statement

On Monday, March 3rd, Congressman Fred Upton (R-St. Joseph) will visit with seniors throughout southwest Michigan to ensure folks on a limited income know what steps they must follow to receive their IRS payment resulting from the recently passed economic stimulus package. Upton has put together a one-page "how-to" guide and a one-page fraud alert for seniors that he will distribute along with copies of the 1040A forms to local seniors. Upton will also have a magnified version of the two page 1040A form to demonstrate the simple steps seniors must follow to receive their check. With recent reports of individuals posing as IRS agents asking for personal and financial information, Upton also wants folks to be aware that there exists a potential for scams and fraud.
