The pattern of recent changes in personal income reflected selected provisions of the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. These provisions boosted personal current transfer receipts
in May much more than in June. Excluding these receipts, which are discussed more fully below,
personal income increased $9.4 billion, or 0.1 percent, in July, increased $18.6 billion, or 0.2 percent,
in June, and increased $9.6 billion, or 0.1 percent, in May. Excluding these receipts, real DPI
decreased less than 0.1 percent in July, following a decrease of 0.2 percent in June, and an increase of
0.1 percent in May.

individuals receiving social security, supplemental security income, and railroad retirement benefits,

accounts and data on changes in net worth, go to http://www.bea.gov/national/nipaweb/Nipa-Frb.asp.

Revisions
Estimates of personal income and DPI have been revised for January through June; estimates
of PCE have been revised for April through June. Changes in personal income, current-dollar and
chained (2005) dollar DPI, and current-dollar and chained (2005) dollar PCE for May and June -revised and as published in last month's release -- are shown below.
For January through June, the revision to wages and salaries reflected the incorporation of the
most recently available BLS tabulations for first-quarter private wages and salaries from the quarterly
census of employment and wages. Wages and salaries were revised down in all six months.
