Did anyone else notice a bigger paycheck yet? I had an extra $19 on my check last Thursday.

Yes, my paycheck was larger also.

**MoonMommy** · 04-06-2009, 01:26 PM

Dh's was a bit bigger. About $26 bucks maybe.

**beks37** · 04-06-2009, 01:36 PM

Yep, mine was $22.00 more.

I think mine was bigger, about $15. It's hard to tell for me as my checks are never the same. I get paid per patient and I see anywhere from 33-40 a week. DH's checks are different too because of his overtime. I will have to ask him if he noticed a difference.

mine was $25 more, its been that way for about a month and a half now.

**staciah** · 04-06-2009, 05:21 PM

Dh is $33 larger. I didn't realize it until you said something.

**Ilovesewing** · 04-06-2009, 06:37 PM

I've been looking for it but I only get paid once a month. I read it wasn't to take affect until 4/1, and I got paid on 3/31. I'll have to wait til the end of the month to see anything now. It would be impossible to tell on dh's check with his overtime.

We lost 5% in March and 10% in April so I don't know if i'll notice.

**jennordhavn** · 04-06-2009, 06:48 PM

Mine was about $40 more (I get paid bi-weekly).

**Jilly** · 04-06-2009, 07:08 PM

Not sure yet. I'll find out on the 15th.

**butterflygreen** · 04-06-2009, 08:22 PM

I dont know as mine are always diffrent. And dh got a 5% pay cut so we wont tell there.

Seemed like my payched was the same or a bit lower.

**Rosebush3** · 04-07-2009, 07:42 AM

I am guessing the amount of the increase comes from having to pay less in federal and state taxes? I claim EIC which zeroes out those for me - so no increase in my paycheck. Actually a decrease as of late since I have been cut a few hours a week. Does anyone know if people like me, claiming the EIC through the year, will get it refunded come tax time next year? I seem to remember reading that it is refundable, not sure.
