Paying it back is something that happened when we got the last $300 Loan from the gubment. They played like it was free money and many people blew it of frivolous shit, only to find out that it was an interest free loan that had to be paid back. I was doing taxes at the time and loved watching conflicted Bush lovers curse him for making them own the IRS because of the loan.
I have not heard if it is a rebate or advance. I thought rebate, but always, always expect that this gubment will find a way to take that money out of your hand and put it in the hands of people that really, really do not need any more money.
End of my political rant.
Sorry.
