Lest anyone think it's just ME, take a peek at a short piece from Yahoo Finance. It's not as entertaining as today's round of internet jokes, but it's better for your social consciousness.
This is affecting millions on Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Railroad retirees and VA beneficiaries. The Reader's Digest version is below:
"Nearly 30 million Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries are waiting to get money through their Economic Impact Payments, according to a letter sent by leaders on the House Ways and Means Committee.
"Because SSA has inexplicably not sent the necessary payment files to the Internal Revenue Service, tens of millions of beneficiaries have yet to receive their desperately needed EIPs. Some of our most vulnerable seniors and persons with disabilities, including veterans who served our country with honor, are unable to pay for basic necessities while they wait for their overdue payments," according to the letter.
"Most Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement Board, and Veterans Affairs beneficiaries who are not required to file a tax return had not yet received their payments.
The letter expressed concern that "the IRS is unable to provide an expected timeline for these payments.
"The IRS said it is working with the Social Security Administration, the Railroad Retirement Board and the Veterans Administration to obtain updated 2021 information to send these beneficiaries "fast, automatic payments."
"More information about when these payments will be made will be provided on IRS.gov as soon as it becomes available," the IRS said."

Me again: I'll post a note when my bank balance really makes me smile, but doesn't this seem silly for a paperless society in a country as ADVANCED as ours?
Photo note: This higuera wall sconce now belongs to a dear friend because I just couldn't sell it. That's the kind of stuff I cranked out as a starving artist in Puerto Rico, ahh... the good old days.
