    Stimulus & school age child payment

    I just checked my online thingy & woohoo I get my rudd money tomorrow.
    But I wasn't expecting a school age payment for both my boys. Only 1 is at school but I have got it for both?
    So it is all kids aged from 4? Cuz Glenn is 4 but isn't at school till next year?

    kidlets that fell in the age bracket as of feb 3 get the school age payment

    it then doesn't discriminate against the states that start school later, the ones that class prep as school age vs the ones that have kinder first etc...

    yeah see at first thats what I thought but then I was told they have to be registered as attending school so I figured I wouldn't get it as only Evan is on my thing as attending school.

    A great surprise though as all this money is going towards paying for the repairs to our car.

    Im thinking I might convice DH to use some of it for the things we had planned on getting with it & just chip away at the car repairs bill.
    Doesn't seem fair to miss out on getting thing we need/want just so we can get rid of the never ending credit card debt. I doubt he will be for it though, he hates owing on the credit card. But then who doesn;t!
