Americans struggling to survive on federal benefits have waited weeks for word on their share of the $1.9 trillion stimulus.
As of March 24, nearly 30 million had yet to receive their portion, largely because the Social Security Administration had "Not sent the necessary payment files" to the Internal Revenue Service.
"People in my situation are feeling lied to." In a March 22 letter from the House Ways and Means Committee, they highlighted the dire position of veterans, seniors, and disabled Americans.
The committee pressured the IRS and SSA for information as to the delay, according to a spokesperson.
While they waited, social security recipients were told not to contact the SSA with their questions - referring them to the IRS. "Please do not contact the Social Security Administration with questions about EIPs," the SSA said.
"Our representatives do not have information to answer your EIP questions. The IRS, not SSA, processes all EIPs.".
"Well over 100m of the $1400 checks have hit bank accounts. But we know that checks to seniors who do not file taxes are lagging," Klain tweeted Tuesday afternoon, in response to NBS News White House correspondent Geoff Bennett's reporting.
