This week the Treasury Department sent out 7.530 million economic stimulus payments to American households totaling $5.755 billion.  In total, Treasury has sent out 112.405 million total economic stimulus payments totaling $91.834 billion.

This week marks the final week of mass disbursements of stimulus payments.  Payments will continue to be sent to households in small batches throughout the end of the year as returns are filed by the October 15 extension deadline.  Those Americans who do not file by October 15 and still qualify for a payment can obtain their stimulus payment by filing a 2008 tax return next year.
