We check the IRS website and nothing showed for my social or my wife's (got the standard can't find it message). This morning I check and mine is still nothing but I checked the wife's and it shows a deposit set for May 9 but only 1 qualifying child. Both of our children are 4 and 7 years old both under 16. So we got shorted $300 and for the life of me I can't figure out why they deted one child with 4 dependents claimed on my 2007 return. Wish me luck seeing that other $300. Ok riddle me this.

As a money person, we wanted to let you know P.U.B. [Publishers Union of Bloggers] has pending inquires to Widget Providers concerning how they generate their income and what percentage of this income goes to the Blog Publisher making the critical decision to allow a Widget on their site for their readers. In addition we are requesting transparency on the critical issue of how the private statistic from Publishers’s Blogs are being used, hopefully with the Publisher’s permission! Will publish these results on http://www.blogpublishersunion.com to keep the community of Blog Publishers informed on this critical component of Widgets on our Blogs.
