Stimulus payment

If you haven't applied for the economic stimulus payment, you have until Oct. 15. The Internal Revenue Service estimates 20 million people who normally do not file tax returns are eligible for the payment, and of those, a little more than half have submitted the necessary form. Eligible people who received at least $3,000 in Social Security benefits, veteran's benefits, certain railroad retirement benefits or earned income in 2007 (or any combination of these) should file a tax return. If you normally do not file taxes, you'll need to complete a simplified version of the 1040A form. The forms can be picked up at the Clovis Senior Center and assistance in filling out the form if needed is available. The center is located at 850 Fourth St. Details: 324-2750.

Yard work help for seniors

The Clovis Community Development Agency wants to assist Clovis senior citizen homeowners (includes mobile homeowners) with the Summer Youth Yard Care Program. The youths can wash windows, pull weeds, mow grass, rake leaves and trim bushes. To be eligible, homeowners must: be 60 years of age or older and have moderate income or lower ($45,200 or less for a one-person household or $51,700 or less for a two-person household). The program runs from June 18 to July 25. Applications are available by calling Andy Haussler at 324-2095 or at the Clovis Senior Center.
