Social Security, SSI recipents to receive $250 stimulus check in May
Posted: 01:48 PM ET

WASHINGTON (CNN) — An estimated 50 million Social Security and
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will receive their one-time $250
economic stimulus check starting in early May — several weeks ahead of
schedule, Vice President Joe Biden announced Thursday.

Biden also announced the distribution of $3.2 billion in new funding for
state and local energy efficiency programs from the Department of Energy.

The $250 checks “will make a big difference in the lives of older
Americans and people with disabilities - many of whom have been hit especially
hard by the economic crisis that has swept across the country,” Biden said in a
written statement.

The energy efficiency funds will come in the form of “formula grants for
projects that reduce total energy use and fossil fuel emissions,” according to
a separate White House statement.

“Local leaders will have the flexibility in how they put these (energy
efficiency) resources to work - but we will hold them accountable for making
the investments quickly and wisely to spur the local economy and cut energy
use,” Biden said.

Biden, who made the announcement at a meeting with several cabinet and
other senior White House officials, is the administration’s point man in
overseeing the distribution of the $787 billion stimulus plan. He is being
assisted by former Interior Department Inspector General Earl Devaney, who has
been tapped to head a new Recovery Act Transparency and Accountability Board.
