Wow, since when does the IRS just send checks to people?

I don't get one, pout, sniff, but maybe you do.

Yeah, there was one in 2001. My husband and I got that one since we were both grad students (no money). This time, we barely qualify since my husband is in a postdoc. If we both made the same salary, we'd miss out on this.

The money is most likely going straight into our IRA accounts, while we still qualify for the Roth. Hopefully anyone with debt (esp. credit card debt) is using the money to pay that down.
