- NC Department of Commerce on the DTV Converter Box Coupon Program
The Coupon Program will receive coupon requests beginning January
1, 2008.
Consumers will be able to apply for their coupons through a Web site,
via a toll-free number, or by mail. Households will be able
to apply for a maximum of two (2) coupons, each worth $40. Coupons
will be mailed to eligible households and
will expire after 90 days of issuance.
Coupons will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis to all
U.S. households until $890 million has been expended. If these initial funds are exhausted, an additional $450 million will
be made available to households that receive only over-the-air television
service.
Consumers may call toll free 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009) in English
and Spanish for updates.
The hearing impaired may call the TTY number 1-877-530-2634 for information
in English, and for information in Spanish, consumers can call TTY
number 1-866-495-1161 for updates.

- Go Direct is
a campaign sponsored by the Department of the Treasury and the Federal
Reserve to encourage people to take advantage of directly
depositing their Social Security and SSI checks, rather than receiving
an actual paper check. Direct deposit is cheaper for the government,
plus it cuts down on fraud and theft.
