So, where are the missing stimulus payments? One can only wonder, it would seem – and many do.
I’ve been reading the articles and reviewing the IRS site. I even listened to the IRS recording. The answers are not there for more than a few people. (Just read the articles if you are interested or have a doubt.) Too many people haven’t a clue what the holdup is and haven’t a way to find out.
I personally know one person that should have received his stimulus payment direct deposit on April 29th, but he didn’t. He doesn’t know why. None of the possible reasons fit his situation. He is a Social Security recipient, no one’s dependent, has a legitimate social security number, doesn’t owe child support and certainly doesn’t make anywhere near $75,000. However, every day the “Get My Payment” says that they don’t have enough information (they’re working on that) or that he is not eligible.
It doesn’t matter that this person is not alone.
It matters that there is an unsolved mystery that is adversely affecting people.
It matters that these people have no way of finding out what is transpiring and why they haven’t received the stimulus payment or when they might – if ever.
Is it a glitch, did information fail to transfer properly from the Social Security Administration to the IRS, some other error or just an inconvenient delay because payments were going out to so many and some had to be last? Only the IRS knows, if anyone does, but perhaps they haven’t a clue either as to why some have and some haven’t received the stimulus payment in a timely and promised fashion.
Maybe the politicians should stop playing politics for a while and worry more about where these missing stimulus payments are and what can be done to help fix whatever is causing the delay.
It would actually be the right thing to do, put people on the right side of history and give actual meaning – for once – to all those political terms usually thrown around like sand in a dust storm.
It’s time to help those in need, who are still waiting and wondering.
Time to solve the mystery thus far unsolved!
