Beginning in May, the WCCS staff will continue to help eligible seniors, veterans and disabled individuals throughout Warren County access and file for the economic stimulus rebate.
"We want to do our part and reach the many citizens that have traditionally not had to file and may not understand they must file to get these economic stimulus dollars by October 15, " Miller said.
