1. Shit, I never got my $600 stimulus check from 6 months ago.

H and R Block said there is nothing anyone can do about it too. Unlike the Fed. Stimulus Checks which you could get back when you file your taxes, the state income tax doesn't allow this so I am screwed. I hope the gas programs are not screwed up like this is.
