Who are embedded, and can't be easily removed are the ones causing the problems.
"When T**** was in charge the checks went out in one week" he said.
We lose elections because this FACT is not starting off the next 1,000 press conferences.
"Trump's appointees are in the way of you getting your stimulus check grandpa. They are hurting you to get you to blame Democrats when it is them causing the pain".
Not that hard of a statement.

(2,636 posts)I'm on disability. I received all three relief checks direct deposit. I file jointly with my husband, retired, and we were among the first wave each time.
Those who are not getting this round of relief--did you file taxes in 2018 or 2019? Are you a single filer? I'm trying to determine where the breakdown is--besides holdover trumpanzee loyalists.

(7,296 posts)Of course, it doesn't specifically name-check Trump-stooge Saul, who heads the SSA, for not providing the IRS with the requested info until 3/25, because, says Saul, the relief bill didn't include money for 'his' employees to do the work.

(866 posts)But I mailed in my 2019 taxes and I think thats the holdup. I just received a letter questioning $200 in income I declared. (Haha, lost $2000 in stimulus because I was honest about $200). But I think it will get straightened out. I already took the second stimulus $600 as a credit on my current taxes.

(2,636 posts)Although I've dropped the documents off with our accountant. My husband's pension comes from out of state. NC can't take taxes out of a California based pension. We owe the state every year, but pay it with the federal refund.
It can't be linked to 2020 tax filings, since the deadline isn't here yet (Federal only is moved out to May 17.)
Will read the other link.

Happy to have had to file taxes, I guess.

(22,252 posts)the checks go out faster.
The weird part was that they did not get the info on SS checks direct deposited, just income tax
There was a spot to send in your bank's routing number & your account # for direct deposit on IRS.gov, so I did that and the following checks were direct deposited

(866 posts)I didnt and have not received the 3rd. Having said that, I think the Administration needs to prioritize strengthening out the stimulus check mess to show efficiency.

(5,689 posts)White people, farmers, businesses, the wealthy, and "me" don't get socialism.
They also like those socialist roads, fire departments, police, jails, prisons, military, and everything else government provides.

Doesn't matter that it's not.
I'm all for taking a lesson from Luntz. Just keep using the words until they become weaponized. Just like they do.

(82,849 posts)Before he gets his socialist check, President Biden is going to need him to do something for the administration first. He'll understand the transactional nature, won't he? It's how his hero conducted the affairs of government. Anyone who treated Needy Amin unfairly (as defined solely in his moldy bag of cats brain) didn't get any consideration.

(1,192 posts)Received the two Economic Impact Payments (EIP 1 and 2) very quickly. This time when I try to find out where my payment is, the website says it doesn't have information.
So last Friday I contacted Jim Himes (D). As of today -- same message from IRS of insufficient info.
Note: Haven't filed income tax in several years -- not enough income. It's rather annoying. This delay is deliberate.
I did get a letter from the IRS dated March 12, 2021 requesting me to verify that I received the EIP2 Payment. It was deposited directly January 4, 2021.

(13,501 posts)Check we got right away by direct deposit. The second took weeks and was an actual check. Something to do with error with TurboTax. This last one took about 3-4 weeks and this time was direct deposited just a week ago.

(54,377 posts)He should thank the mailman every day he delivers the mail, and there no check in it. It's just what his Republican friends voted for, after all. I don't understand why he's complaining instead of celebrating.
