A good upper-middle income amount is well above the level that the government thinks we should receive this "stimilus package".

So therefore like GaGambler, I will receive nothing..

Re: I would have

me neither and I am far from wealthy. Upper middle class describes me. If I didn't get one that definitely means the cutoff was to low! I must have barely missed out. Of course in the good ol midwest my dollar does go a little farther than on the coasts.
No worry however because Mc Cain says the fundamentals of the economy are sound and we are winning in Iraq Disclosure, I am a liberal democrat but I do not engage in  serious political discussions but I do like to poke fun every once in a while at both ends of the political spectrum.

I didn't know my wife is your Mother.  You must be from a previous marriage.  My condolences.

I stand corrected (partially) on my post above.

I had not received any information from the IRS in direct connection to the status of my possible stimulus payment before I posted my comment.  Yesterday, I got notification from the IRS about it.  It was a generic notice indicating that I did qualify, and because my 2007 refund was not direct deposited (actually, they took it since I owed back taxes), that my check would be sent to me within 2-3 weeks (as outlined in the payment order to taxpayers based on the last 2 digits of their SSN).  Since this was basically a generic notice of its status, there was no specific mention of it being withheld due to my owing back taxes.

Truthfully, I still think that my stimulus payment will be hijacked in transit, but as it turns out, I misspoke regarding its taxation on the 2008 tax return.  The notice stated that the stimulus payment would not be reported as income on 2008's taxes.  It will be handled as it was back in 2001 when Shrub implemented the first tax "rebate" checks; as an advance against your 2008 tax liability, which it truly is.

My error in making that assumption.
