I did and they sent it back to me . Then I sent it back and wrote on it keep it I dont want it. Then they sent me a letter saying I should take it again.This time I tore it up and sent it back.Have not heard anything since.
They have to return it, because otherwise they'll get a lawsuit saying that he government stole someone's check, after the person "mistakenly" sent it back.
Dont believe me,Its the truth. For me to take that rotten Chinese money makes me no better the the crooks in Washington that are selling our country to the world. I Just happen to have convictions I believe in.And no amount of filthy money is going to change that. There is 4000 people my county alone did not take it.
You know you're not hurting them by rejecting it. Nor are you making a major impact on fixing things. After all, if they don't give it to you, they'll just give it to some dirtbag with a lobbyist. You're only punishing yourself.
Hell no!!! I got it about the time I retired. That check and my payout for un-used vacation and sick leave put a nice little cushion in the ole savings account.
