I'm Starting To Get A Little Pissed Off About My Delayed Stimulus

[Jim G.]

I paid my taxes on time for more than 50 years & my SS taxes were taken out of every paycheck, and yet somehow because I'm on SS now I'm an afterthought.

1. It's not that. 30 million some checks are being held

By a Trump appointed bureaucrat who is slowing the process and pissing everybody off
There’ve been letters back-and-forth demanding he release them and he is refusing

I’m sure it was posted here

4. It was, and elsewhere. It's a pretty bad accusation, but no corroboration that I've seen so far.

3. Some Social Security recipients say they're desperate for latest stimulus checks

MARCH 26, 2021 / 9:15 AM / MONEYWATCH

IRS officials have touted the agency's delivery of the latest round of stimulus checks as reaching eligible Americans in "record time." Yet some Social Security recipients in urgent need of financial assistance say they're still waiting for the emergency relief payment.

The problem may sit with the Social Security Administration (SSA), according to a Wednesday letter from the House Ways and Means Committee to the benefits agency. The letter states that 30 million Social Security recipients are still waiting for their checks, and that the IRS had asked the SSA to send it payment files two weeks before the checks were signed into law by President Joe Biden on March 11.

"As of today, SSA still has not provided the IRS with the payment files that are needed to issue [stimulus checks] to these struggling Americans," the letter says. It is signed by Representatives Richard Neal, John Larson, Bill Pascrell and Danny Davis.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/stimulus-check-social-security-recipients-delay-desperate/

5. The excuse they gave was ... laughable?

The Trump-appointee to SSA, Saul, said that the reason SSA had not given the requested info to IRS was--get this!--because the stimulus bill didn't include extra funds to pay for the SSA employees' time required to do the work!!

I mean, really?? Fire that mofo ASAP!

11. Hi Jim. Have you had a chance to take a look at the responses?

[Jim G.]

14. Yes...

And I'm aware of where the problem comes from. That information was supposed to have been transmitted yesterday & yet I'm still at "Status not available". I get my SS direct deposited so it's a matter of someone typing a few keystrokes not doing their job.

12. I am too, but not blaming Biden

The Republican IRS and SSA heads are messing things up. In fact, the files for SSA were finally sent yesterday, but my mom still gets Payment Status Not Available. Yet more delay.

13. Same here

No luck for my mom yet.
