Beginning this May, the U.S. Treasury Department will distribute rebate checks to more than 130 million households across the country as part of the federal economic stimulus package approved by Congress, Rep. Kate Harper (R-Montgomery) announced today.

However, millions of retirees, disabled veterans and low-wage workers who are not typically required to file a federal tax return could potentially miss out on the rebate if they do not file a 2007 federal tax return.

Individuals must file a 2007 federal tax return in order to collect their rebate payments. For these individuals it is important to know that they must also show at least $3,000 of income, which can include earned income, Social Security, Railroad Retirement benefits and certain benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Other income restrictions apply. Single tax filers must have 2007 adjusted gross income (AGI) below $75,000 and joint filers must have AGI below $150,000.

Single filers with AGI below $75,000 will get rebates of as much as $600. Couples with AGI below $150,000 will receive rebates of up to $1,200.

Although the deadline to file an income tax return is April 15, individuals filing for the purpose of collecting a rebate payment only will have until Oct. 15. Even if an individual misses that deadline, they will have a second opportunity when filing next year's income tax return.

People who have already filed a return do not need to submit additional paperwork.

The IRS announced recently that checks will be distributed as early as May 2 and expect that 25 percent of filers should receive a check within the first three weeks. Most taxpayers will receive their check before July 11.

Mandatory Leaf Recycling Program

Leaf and Yard Waste Collection

Pennsylvania Law prohibits placing leaves in the trash. Leaves must be composted on site or placed out for separate collection.  Your Contracted Waste Hauler is to provide this service to their customers in Towamencin Township.

• *   Residents must purchase their own biodegradable leaf and yard waste collection bags that
       are available at grocery and hardware  stores; no plastic bags are permitted.

*    No more than 10 bags per collection.
*    Haulers are to advise customers of specific dates for leaf pick-up:

*    First collection in late October

*    Second collection in November
*    Third collection in May

*    Customers can be billed by their hauler for this DEP mandated collection.

          *    Haulers are required to report tonnage collected from each collection to
                Towamencin so that it can be forwarded to DEP.
