If you filed taxes this year is what I hear, also heard it more like an advance on your next years tax return so you pay it back. Short term "solution" as I see it.

There's a ton of beuracratic bullshit surrounding it... you wont see the money even if you qualify until later on this year... probably around August'ish from what I understand...

What they're hoping for with the $600 is that ppl will spend it instead of paying off credit card bills, and we all know there's no gty there.
