Washington, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney today urged Manhattan residents who think they may have missed their tax refund check to contact the IRS immediately, either by telephone at 1-800-829-1954 or on the Internet by clicking on the Where’s My Refund? button on www.irs.gov. The IRS reports that the tax refund checks of 2,059 Manhattan residents, worth a total of $5.65 million, were returned to the agency because of mailing address errors.
”It's a sign of the armed forces' increasing awareness and tolerance of special cases such as this that they agreed to the exemption for Spc. Lamba," Rep. Maloney said. "At a time when we need recruits with his skills who wish to serve in the U.S Armed Forces, the Army's wise religious exemption has resulted in a graduate of basic training-- and a new Army Combat Medic."
Washington, DC - A new report by the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee by the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee, chaired by Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), finds that Social Security accounts for more than two-thirds of all income for women aged 65 and over and that any efforts to tinker with this program could have a dramatic impact on retired women who count on their Social Security benefits to make ends meet.
New York, NY – Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) today highlighted new data that show that a total of 8,100 seniors in her 14th Congressional District will receive $250 ‘donut hole’ checks in 2010 as part of the new Health Care Reform law signed by President Obama. The checks are meant to begin the process of closing the Medicare prescription drug coverage gap that occurs when annual drug expenditures exceed $2,830 for any recipient of Medicare Part “D” coverage.
“This announcement is disappointing but not a surprise, given the very low rate of inflation as it is calculated,” Rep. Maloney said. “That’s why I’m gratified that Speaker Pelosi has committed to moving ahead with legislation later this year that will provide Social Security recipients with a one-time $250 payment in 2011.”
