   I reckon you have to have earned income of at least $3000 to qualify for the stimulus package. Check out http://irs.gov

   If you had no taxable income in 2007 then you do not have to file.

   I reckon you get $ 300 if you file a return.
   That will help you, maybe not enough, but it will help.

   See the source link below that clarifies who and when you should file. Read at least through Table 1-1.

   No, the grants aren’t eligible income, so if you didn’t have income from a job or from social security or VA disability, you won’t get a stimulus check.

   If your grants covered room and board, you DID have taxable income for 2007. If it’s more than the filing requirement, you need to file.

   Unfortunately, even if taxable, the grants shouldn’t qualify as they weren’t earned income.
