Almost a week after the third payment corresponding to the Child Tax Credit was released Yes, many of the beneficiaries are unhappy because the amount they are entitled to receive has not reached their bank accounts, except for those who receive payment by paper check.
According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the day 15 September 35 million payments were issued. The parents who complained that they did not receive the support have expressed that in the two previous rounds the deposit was reflected in their accounts quickly .
The IRS reported that it is “aware of cases in which some people they have not yet received their payments for September, although they did receive them in July and August ”. In addition, the federal agency warned that beneficiaries may not be able to know their current payment status on the portal, as there are technical problems.
Through a statement, the IRS stated that “it is investigating this situation and we will share more information as soon as possible ”. It is not the first time that a setback has occurred in the distribution of payments, because in the second round of distribution of the Tax Credit for Children, in August, there were problems.
