IRS taking your refunds to pay for your family's debts


Recommended Posts

I'm surprised that this hasn't already been posted here.

 

from the article:

 

"Now, Social Security claims it overpaid someone in the Grice family — it’s not sure who — in 1977. After 37 years of silence, four years after Sadie Grice died, the government is coming after her daughter. Why the feds chose to take Mary’s money, rather than her surviving siblings’, is a mystery."

There is a list that OIG has, if you are deliquent in any sort of Federal Commitment, ie Student Loans, you cannot get hired at a business that does any work with the Federal Goverment- so if I were deliquent in paying my student debt, I could be denied hire at this hospital because they accept Medicare... its !@#$ed up.

The Social Security Administration announced Monday that it will immediately cease efforts to collect on taxpayers’ debts to the government that are more than 10 years old.

The action comes after The Washington Post reported that the government was seizing state and federal tax refunds that were on their way to about 400,000 Americans who had relatives who owed money to the Social Security agency. In many cases, the people whose refunds were intercepted had never heard of any debt, and the debts dated as far back as the middle of the past century.

 

I should be, I get a long of practice reading stupid stuff from you and your minions here B-)

 

What is a long of practice?
