Dear Colleague: On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This new legislation provides a one-time payment of $250 to Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries.Over 60 million beneficiaries will receive a one-time payment. We expect allpayments to be delivered by late May 2009. To assist us in issuing thesepayments as quickly as possible, beneficiaries should not contact Social Securityunless they do not receive their payment by June 4th. As we move toimplement the new legislation, we will continue to provide updates to keep youinformed of our efforts in this area. You can learn more about these one-time payments at www.socialsecurity.gov. We ask that you share information about these efforts with members, colleagues and any parties who would find them of interest.I look forward to the opportunity to discuss this important legislation withyou. Sincerely, Cheri Arnott Associate Commissioner for External Affairs
