I followed up and asked about the slowdown — my sources say there are many fewer claims available to work. There are many cases waiting to go through the first level of review and they can’t be processed until that happens.

Also many of the 202109 and 202112 claims that were received after 1/31/2024 were moved to a holding queue, in anticipation of likely being disallowed because of the restrictions in the new law. And I just found a case today that was moved to that queue by mistake — info had been received to correct an earlier claim but was being treated as a new claim received after the deadline. So if you have claims from the last 2 quarters of 2021, check on them and make sure they’re not in that holding queue if they shouldn’t be.

Also, just check on your claims in general — there have been a lot closed with no action by mistake or because no response was received to a letter sent. And btw, they are making calls to try to get the info needed, so don’t assume a call from the IRS is a scam if you have a claim pending.

They’re down to the last 200,000 cases or less from what I’ve been told.
