A second package has not been passed, though the news has reported that it is being considered. A package will not be passed before the elections as Congress is off session. More here: http://www.taxgirl.com/bush-may-be-warming-to-the-idea-of-a-second-stimulus-package/

You can also check the status directly on the web for the Senate and the House.

I think that a second stimulus check would benifit all americia. Therefore, Congress and Bush[OBAMA] go ahead and pass the bill.

I can’t speak for the IRS but I find that fairly impossible to believe… The legislation to send out checks last time was passed in, I think, Feb and checks were sent beginning in May - a three month window. Considering that the elections are just around the corner (about a month) and no legislation has been passed, it’s an ambitious statement.
Plus, I still firmly believe that there will be no second check in the near future. After the bailout fiasco, we won’t have any money left!
