Have a social security number, you get a sales tax rebate check each month for NRST on povertylevel of expenditures.

My non-employed wife and kids each have a SSN. We all live in the same household. Do we each get a check, each for the same amount? It seems like the 'poverty level of expenditures' is different if we're all in one household vs. having two, three, or four.

My non-employed wife and kids each have a SSN. We all live in the same household. Do we each get a check, each for the same amount? It seems like the 'poverty level of expenditures' is different if we're all in one household vs. having two, three, or four.

In applying for it you designate one person in the household to recieve the check and list the persons in the household.

The monthly rebate is based on the HSS povertylevel tables for number of person in household, adjusted to assure the same amount is received for each adult to get rid of any marriage penalty that would otherwise be present.

Basically currently it works out to be about $178 per adult and $65 per child each month.
