More than $5 million is still available to Rhode Islanders who have not claimed their federal economic stimulus rebates, according to the Internal Revenue Service. About 17,865 residents -- more than 70 percent of whom are aged 65 and older -- are still eligible for a check. But the deadline to file a tax return is Oct. 15. Today, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., is joining representatives from the IRS at the Woonsocket Senior Center to answer questions and help seniors file for their rebates. Veterans, too, are encouraged to file before Oct. 15, as is anyone who does not typically file taxes. A tax filing is required to receive a check. People living on fixed incomes are eligible for a $300 rebate. Whitehouse and IRS representatives will be at the senior center, at 84 Social Street, today at 11 a.m.
