Treasury Assists Hurricane Preparation Efforts

Treasury continues to support efforts to minimize hurricane related disturbances in a number of ways including expediting check delivery in the affected areas for certain federal benefits. Nearly 400,000 people in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida received their federal benefit checks, including Social Security payments, in advance of Gustav. Government-wide information on hurricane preparation and recovery efforts is available at www.ready.gov.
