Old Colony Elderly Services Alerts Elders and Disabled Veterans of October 15th Filing Deadline for Economic Stimulus Payment

October 8, 2008 //  by admin

Old Colony Elderly Services, Inc. (OCES) alerts retirees and disabled veterans who don’t normally file a federal income tax return that they may be eligible to receive an Economic Stimulus payment of between $300 and $600 depending on their circumstances.

According to the IRS, there are an estimated 117,000 retirees and disabled veterans in Massachusetts who normally don’t file a federal income tax return but may be eligible for the stimulus payment.

OCES is a private, non-profit Aging Services Access Point (ASAP) that provides valuable programs and services to seniors, their families and caregivers. The agency can provide guidance to seniors and disabled veterans who need assistance filing a federal tax return prior to the Economic Stimulus deadline of October 15th.

According to the IRS, older Americans and disabled veterans who have no tax liability and who have no requirement to file a tax return because their income is too low or nontaxable, may receive a stimulus payment of up to $300 ($600 for married couples) plus a $300 payment for each qualifying child.

According to Diana DiGiorgi, OCES’ Executive Director, “It’s imperative that seniors and disabled veterans file before October 15th in order to receive payment. We can assist seniors and disabled veterans in determining if they meet eligibility requirements to qualify. By law, the IRS cannot disperse any payments after December 31st, so we strongly urge anyone who believes they are eligible to file a return; contact a tax professional; or contact us for more information.”

OCES serves elders, their families and caregivers in the towns of Abington, Avon, Bridgewater, Brockton, Carver, Duxbury, East Bridgewater, Easton, Halifax, Hanover, Hanson, Kingston, Lakeville, Marshfield, Middleboro, Pembroke, Plymouth, Plympton, Rockland, Stoughton, Wareham, West Bridgewater and Whitman.

To inquire about Economic Stimulus Payments, contact OCES at (508) 584-1561.

Meadow Brook Townhomes, West Bridgewater are pleased to announce the election of five new members to its Board of Trustees. They are Meadow Brook residents Rami Itani, Paul Mulcahy, David Rossman, Peter Dearing and Narika O’Connell.

 

In related news, after four years, the Meadow Brook Townhomes condo association was recently taken over by the tenants.  Also, Bristol South Management of Raynham, MA owned and managed by Russ Yule, is the new management company that took over the day to day operations of the

association.  

 

“A condominium association is not simply a group of neighbors getting together to make decisions about their condos in a social setting.  Rather, it is a legal entity that is guided by the by-laws and other governing rules and regulations,” noted Rami Itani, resident, trustee and executive with Stonebridge Homes, the developers of Meadow Brook Townhomes.

He added, “Both tenants and Management Company agree that oversight was needed to build an effective organization that benefits current and future residents.”

 

For more than 20 years, the developer of the Meadow Brook Townhomes, the Stonebridge family of companies, based in South Easton, Mass., has built numerous communities in the Northeast United States. Today, Stonebridge has focused on building in the southeastern towns of Massachusetts which include Abington, Easton, Raynham, Taunton, Franklin, West Bridgewater, Pembroke, Whitman and Norwell. The styles of communities vary between condominiums and custom single family home designed by an award-winning in-house architect who is customizing dream homes for individuals, couples and families. Each one of the projects is built with the same commitment for quality and satisfaction.
