2008 Economic Stimulus Payment
On February 7, 2008, the Congress passed the Economic Stimulus Act.  This law generally provides for a minimum economic stimulus payment of $300 for taxpayers with earned income of at least $3,000 ($600 for married taxpayers filing joint returns), including those with certain Social Security, Railroad Retirement, and veterans’ benefits.  Individuals who normally do not file a tax return must file to qualify for an economic stimulus payment.  To receive a stimulus check this year, eligible taxpayers must file an income tax return by October 15, 2008.  More details are available at www.irs.gov.

Rep. Waxman Introduces H.R. 6381, the Medical Device Safety Act of 2008
On Thursday, June 26, 2008, Chairman Frank Pallone, Jr. and Chairman Henry A. Waxman introduced H.R. 6381, The Medical Device Safety Act of 2008.  The legislation will reverse a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision which immunized medical device companies from state lawsuits brought by patients who are injured by certain FDA-approved medical devices.  Without this legislation, patients will be unable to seek compensation for their injuries, medical expenses and lost wages resulting from injuries caused by defective premarket approval (PMA) devices or inadequate safety warnings.
