Beginning in April, all recipients must verify their identity in person at official offices in order to continue receiving monthly payments.</p> <p>This new measure, proposed by the Trump administration through the <strong><a href="https://doge.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)</a></strong>, seeks to improve oversight of federal spending and reduce fraud in the Social Security system.</p> <p>The change has already sparked concern, particularly among older adults and people living in rural areas who may face difficulty accessing government services.</p> <p>The new rule applies to both new applicants and current beneficiaries, and it replaces the previous system, which allowed for identity verification via the official Social Security website.</p> <p>Those who fail to complete this step risk losing access to their benefits because unverified accounts may be flagged as inactive or fraudulent.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">In-Person Identity Verification Starts in April</h2> <p>The <a href="https://doge.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE),</strong></a> led by Donald Trump and overseen by Elon Musk, is enforcing this policy in response to internal claims that the <strong><a href="https://www.ssa.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Social Security Administration (SSA)</a></strong> was issuing payments in the names of deceased individuals. The new process is intended to prevent such errors and tighten control over public funds.</p> <p>Beginning in April, online identity verification via the SSA website will no longer be accepted. All beneficiaries, regardless of when they enrolled in the program, must visit a local SSA office to verify their identity in person.</p> <p>Failure to complete this verification process may result in the suspension or termination of monthly payments, as the system considers unverifiable accounts suspicious or inactive.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://149472331.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/social-security.jpeg" alt="New Requirement to Keep Social Security Benefits Starting in April" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source (Google.com)</figcaption></figure></div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Quick Facts: New SSA Identity Rule</h3> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><thead><tr><th><strong>Item</strong></th><th><strong>Detail</strong></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Start Date</strong></td><td>April 2025</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Who’s Affected</strong></td><td>All Social Security recipients</td></tr><tr><td><strong>What’s Required</strong></td><td>In-person identity verification only</td></tr><tr><td><strong>No Longer Allowed</strong></td><td>Online verification via SSA website</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Risk</strong></td><td>Loss of benefits if not verified</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Main Concern</strong></td><td>Seniors and rural residents</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Elderly and Rural Residents Could Face Disadvantages</h2> <p>Advocacy groups and community leaders have expressed concern about the new policy, warning that it could affect thousands of vulnerable beneficiaries, particularly seniors living in remote or underserved areas who may struggle to get to SSA offices.</p> <p>The situation is exacerbated by the recent layoff of over 7,000 SSA employees, which may result in additional delays and long wait times for those attempting to comply with the new rule.</p> <p>While the government defends the measure as a necessary step to improve transparency and reduce waste, many Americans are now facing uncertainty because their continued access to Social Security benefits is contingent on completing an in-person verification process—a step that some may find difficult or even impossible.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.tododisca.com/en/new-requirement-keep-social-security-benefits-starting-april/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SOURCE</a></strong></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://wrestlingnews365.com/new-requirement-to-maintain-social-security-benefits-beginning-in-april/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">3571</post-id> </item> <item> <title>The IRS warns that the time for claiming up to $1 billion in refunds is running out</title> <link>https://wrestlingnews365.com/the-irs-warns-that-the-time-for-claiming-up-to-1-billion-in-refunds-is-running-out/</link> <comments>https://wrestlingnews365.com/the-irs-warns-that-the-time-for-claiming-up-to-1-billion-in-refunds-is-running-out/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Sophia]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 25 Mar 2025 21:30:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Social Security]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://wrestlingnews365.com/?p=3567</guid> <description><![CDATA[In previous years, the IRS sent a large number of checks to United States citizens who were eligible for a ... <p class="read-more-container"><a title="The IRS warns that the time for claiming up to $1 billion in refunds is running out" class="read-more button" href="https://wrestlingnews365.com/the-irs-warns-that-the-time-for-claiming-up-to-1-billion-in-refunds-is-running-out/#more-3567" aria-label="Read more about The IRS warns that the time for claiming up to $1 billion in refunds is running out">Read more</a></p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In previous years, the <strong><a href="https://www.irs.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">IRS</a> </strong>sent a large number of checks to United States citizens who were eligible for a tax refund. However, many of the beneficiaries who were eligible for one of these Refunds did not complete all of the requirements, so they have yet to receive it.</p> <p>However, if you are eligible, there is still time to receive one of these IRS payments, so it is best to check the eligibility criteria as soon as possible and find out what we need to do to get a Tax Refund in the coming weeks.</p> <p>If we are not eligible, we will not be able to receive this specific payment, but that does not mean that we will not receive a Tax Refund from the 2024 Tax Return.</p> <p>The current Tax Season is still open and the $1 billion refunds are a separate payment that the IRS makes with respect to previous campaigns to help Americans in need.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Until when can I request the Refund from the IRS?</h2> <p>The deadline to claim this refund is April 15th, 2025. After that date, we will be unable to request a refund, and we will forfeit our right to the additional stimulus check from the IRS.

Also, if you are eligible, you will not have to do anything else, and the payment will be made directly to your checking account.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is this IRS Refund compatible with Social Security?</h2> <p>Our bank can receive both the Social Security payment and the IRS refund in the same month without any problems. Both payments are compatible as long as we meet all of the requirements for receiving them. So make sure to read all of the conditions carefully and contact the IRS if you have any questions.</p> <p>So, with these payments already received, we will only have a little extra money for our regular expenses. Not only that, but the IRS is distributing a large number of Tax Refund 2025 checks to citizens, so we might as well get one of these other checks to maintain a slightly higher standard of living at this time of the month.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.tododisca.com/en/irs-warns-time-claim-up-to-1-billion-refunds-running-out/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SOURCE</a></strong></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://wrestlingnews365.com/the-irs-warns-that-the-time-for-claiming-up-to-1-billion-in-refunds-is-running-out/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">3567</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Last chance to receive SNAP Food Stamps in March 2025: These states make payments worth $292</title> <link>https://wrestlingnews365.com/last-chance-to-receive-snap-food-stamps-in-march-2025-these-states-make-payments-worth-292/</link> <comments>https://wrestlingnews365.com/last-chance-to-receive-snap-food-stamps-in-march-2025-these-states-make-payments-worth-292/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Sophia]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 25 Mar 2025 21:15:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Finance]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://wrestlingnews365.com/?p=3564</guid> <description><![CDATA[Receiving a monthly payment from SNAP Food Stamps in the United States is extremely beneficial because it allows families to ... <p class="read-more-container"><a title="Last chance to receive SNAP Food Stamps in March 2025: These states make payments worth $292" class="read-more button" href="https://wrestlingnews365.com/last-chance-to-receive-snap-food-stamps-in-march-2025-these-states-make-payments-worth-292/#more-3564" aria-label="Read more about Last chance to receive SNAP Food Stamps in March 2025: These states make payments worth $292">Read more</a></p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Receiving a monthly payment from <strong><a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SNAP Food Stamps</a></strong> in the United States is extremely beneficial because it allows families to improve their standard of living in a variety of ways. Because of this benefit, the most vulnerable Americans can purchase fresh food and eat it directly in participating establishments.</p> <p>However, the payment schedule for this benefit differs slightly from that of the others. The primary reason is that the SNAP Food Stamps check is sent on different days depending on the state in which we reside. Living in New York differs from living in Florida because the two states have different schedules.</p> <p>So, if you have had your SNAP Food Stamps payment accepted, you should know that this week the last checks of the month will be sent out. Therefore, if you don’t get the money on your <strong><a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/ebt" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">EBT card</a></strong>, you may have to claim it, as there could be delays.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Latest SNAP Food Stamps payments in March</h2> <p>Although the maximum payment for SNAP Food Stamps is $292, not all Americans have access to this amount.

The upcoming March 26 disbursement follows this pattern, providing critical relief to those who meet the eligibility requirements.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who Will Receive the March 26 Social Security Payment?</h2> <p>According to official SSA guidelines, only individuals who meet <strong>all three</strong> of the following conditions will receive the March 26 deposit:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>They began receiving <strong><a href="https://www.ssa.gov/benefits" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Social Security benefits</a></strong> <strong>after May 1997</strong>.</li> <li>They <strong>do not receive</strong> <strong><a href="https://www.ssa.gov/ssi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Supplemental Security Income (SSI)</a></strong> payments.</li> <li>Their birth date falls between <strong>the 21st and 31st</strong> of any month.</li></ul> <p>On March 26, eligible recipients can expect to receive the deposit directly into their bank accounts.

Fewer years on record can reduce your benefit.</li> <li><strong>Earn more during your working years</strong>: The more income you report to the SSA over your career, the higher your monthly benefit will be.</li></ul> <p>With the March 26 payment approaching, eligible recipients should stay alert for the deposit and consider strategies to manage their finances effectively.

After age 65, your SSDI payment is automatically converted to retirement.</p> <p>People with disabilities lasting less than 12 months, those without enough work credits, and those earning more than the SGA income limit are ineligible.

Low-wage and Unemployed Workers Can Apply</strong></h2> <p>SNAP benefits are available to individuals who meet certain income and asset requirements.</p> <p>Low-wage or part-time workers, the unemployed, welfare recipients, the elderly, the disabled, and the homeless may all be eligible.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Monthly Income Limits Apply</strong></h2> <p>To qualify, your household’s gross and net income must be within certain limits. Gross income is your total income, whereas net income is what remains after allowable deductions.</p> <p>Currently, a single person’s monthly gross income limit is $1,580, with a net limit of $1,215. The gross limit for a family of four is $3,250, while the net limit is $2,500.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. There’s a Limit on Countable Resources</strong></h2> <p>Households cannot have more than $2,750 in Countable Resources, such as cash or bank account funds. If a household member is 60 or older or has a disability, the limit rises to $4,250.</p> <p>Some resources, such as homes, most retirement plans, and Social Security or Tanf benefits, are not counted.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Snap Amounts Change Every Year</strong></h2> <p>The <strong><a href="https://www.usda.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)</a></strong> adjusts Snap Benefit Amounts annually based on inflation and the Thrifty Food Plan, which estimates the cost of low-cost nutritious meals.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. You Must Apply Through Your State</strong></h2> <p>Snap Applications Go Through Your State’s Agency. You can apply at a local Snap office, online (if available), or by calling your state’s Snap hotline.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. Most States Allow Online Applications</strong></h2> <p>Most States Let You Apply for Snap Benefits Online. If your State Doesn’t, You May Need to Print the Form or Get One from A Local Office and Mail It In.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>7. Benefits Depend on Household Size</strong></h2> <p>The Amount You Receive Is Based on Your Household Size. A single-person Household Can Get up to $291 per Month, While a Family of Four Can Receive Up To $973.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>8. Benefits Are Provided Within a Month</strong></h2> <p>If You Qualify, You’ll Typically Receive Benefits Within 30 Days of Applying.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://hope.temple.edu/sites/hope/files/styles/tu_image_style_open_graph/public/media/image/get%20snap%20benefit-ms-jnpftvztrz-2.jpg?h=61ca0bd2&itok=rcuQXg6d" alt="16 Essential SNAP Rules to Follow for Maximum Benefits" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source (Google.com)</figcaption></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>9. Some Recipients Get Benefits Faster</strong></h2> <p>If you have little or no monthly income, you may be eligible for expedited benefits within seven days.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>10. Benefits Come Through an Ebt Card</strong></h2> <p>Snap Benefits are loaded onto an Electronic Benefits Transfer (ebt) Card, which can be used like a debit card at approved stores. You will also receive a PIN for secure use.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>11. Snap Benefits Are Accepted at Many Stores</strong></h2> <p>Snap Benefits can be used at most grocery stores, superstores such as Walmart and Target, convenience stores, and farmers’ markets. The USDA’s Snap Retailer Locator can help you find approved locations.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>12. You Can Buy Most Food Items</strong></h2> <p>Snap Benefits Can Be Used to Buy Fruits, Vegetables, Meat, Fish, Dairy, Bread, Cereals, and Snacks. You Can Also Buy Seeds and Plants to Grow Your Food.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>13. Some Items Are Not Covered</strong></h2> <p>You Can’t Use Snap Benefits to Buy Alcohol, Tobacco, Vitamins, Medicines, or Hot Food at Grocery Stores, or Restaurant Meals.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>14. You Need to Reapply Periodically</strong></h2> <p>Your Snap Benefits Are Certified for A Specific Period. Before They Expire, You’ll Receive a Notice About Renewing Them.</p> <p>You’re Also Required to Report Changes in Your Income or Household Status.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>15. Alaska and Hawaii Offer Higher Benefits</strong></h2> <p>While most states limit the maximum benefit to $973 for a family of four, Alaska and Hawaii allow up to $1,937 and $1,759, respectively.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>16. Work Requirements May Apply</strong></h2> <p>To remain eligible, you may need to meet work requirements, such as not quitting a job, not voluntarily reducing work hours, registering for work, and participating in job training programs as required by your state.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Bottom Line</strong></h2> <p>If you meet the eligibility requirements, applying for Snap Benefits can help you save money on groceries and reduce financial stress.</p> <p>Even if You Do Not Qualify for the Maximum Amount, Receiving Extra Assistance with Groceries Can Make a Significant Difference in Your Budget.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://race-day-live.com/16-essential-snap-rules-to-follow-for-maximum-benefits/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SOURCE</a></strong></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://wrestlingnews365.com/follow-these-16-essential-snap-rules-to-maximize-your-benefits/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">3549</post-id> </item> <item> <title>The IRS has finalized an agreement with ICE to monitor undocumented immigrants in Alabama</title> <link>https://wrestlingnews365.com/the-irs-has-finalized-an-agreement-with-ice-to-monitor-undocumented-immigrants-in-alabama/</link> <comments>https://wrestlingnews365.com/the-irs-has-finalized-an-agreement-with-ice-to-monitor-undocumented-immigrants-in-alabama/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Matthew Moore]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 25 Mar 2025 19:45:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Finance]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://wrestlingnews365.com/?p=3546</guid> <description><![CDATA[According to the Latin Times, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are reportedly negotiating ... <p class="read-more-container"><a title="The IRS has finalized an agreement with ICE to monitor undocumented immigrants in Alabama" class="read-more button" href="https://wrestlingnews365.com/the-irs-has-finalized-an-agreement-with-ice-to-monitor-undocumented-immigrants-in-alabama/#more-3546" aria-label="Read more about The IRS has finalized an agreement with ICE to monitor undocumented immigrants in Alabama">Read more</a></p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the Latin Times, the <strong><a href="https://www.irs.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Internal Revenue Service (IRS)</a></strong> and U.S. <strong><a href="https://www.ice.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)</a></strong> are reportedly negotiating an agreement that would allow the IRS to use tax data to verify the names and addresses of people suspected of being in the country illegally.</p> <p>The agreement would allow the IRS to cross-check names submitted by ICE against confidential internal tax data, according to four anonymous sources who spoke with The Washington Post.</p> <p>This agreement is contentious because IRS tax information is strictly confidential and protected.</p> <p>Normally, sharing internal tax data with outside law enforcement agencies requires a court order and is only permitted under certain legal circumstances.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://abc3340.com/resources/media2/16x9/1024/986/0x83/90/33630391-377f-461d-a0b1-a68c0c1ba90c-AP24105636876345.jpg" alt="IRS nears agreement to use data to help ICE" /></figure></div> <p>According to the IRS Disclosure page, tax information may only be shared with law enforcement for the purpose of investigating and prosecuting non-tax crimes if a court order is obtained.</p> <p>The proposed agreement would limit the data shared with ICE to immigrants living in Alabama and those who have already received final removal orders.</p> <p>Furthermore, only Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L.

The agency is changing how it verifies your identity: essentially, they want to know if you are you and that you exist.</p> <p>There will be no more phone calls for this step, as everything will be done online or in person. Yes, there will be some changes, but do not be concerned. I’ll walk you through what’s changing, why it’s important, and how to get through it with ease.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Short version: The SSA just introduced a mandatory in-person check-up</h2> <p>Benefits and direct deposit updates no longer require you to verify your identity over the phone. Starting next week (yep, March 31 is right around the corner!), you’ll need to do one of these things:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Hop online</strong> using the SSA’s “my Social Security” portal, or</li> <li><strong>Visit</strong> <strong>an office</strong> in person if you’re not into digital stuff.</li></ul> <p>“Why the change?” you might ask.It is all about security and fraud prevention. The SSA aims to reduce fraud, which sounds great… Unless you have difficulty with technology or are unable to easily access an office. More on that in a moment.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.elmira.es/en/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/social-security-february-2025-new-schedule.jpg" alt="Wanna Claim Your Social Security… Gotta Do a New “In-Person” Mandatory Requirement Very Soon" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source (Google.com)</figcaption></figure></div> <p>Not everyone will like this, but we all want the SSA money to stop being leaked to people who do not deserve it. If you are tech-savvy, you will most likely breeze through the online process. But for people like:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Older adults who prefer talking to a human,</strong></li> <li><strong>People in</strong> <strong>rural areas</strong> with spotty internet or faraway offices,</li> <li>Those with <strong>disabilities</strong> who find travel tough,</li></ul> <p>…this could feel like a hurdle. The SSA knows this, though, and they’re urging people in these groups to schedule in-person appointments ASAP to avoid delays. But, move faster than the others: <strong>Call their hotline at 1-800-772-1213 to book a space in the line</strong>. Offices might get swamped after March 31, so better safe than stuck in a line!</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">First time claiming your Social Security benefits? Here’s the starting point</h3> <p><strong>If you’re about to retire, or you’re considering claiming your Social Security benefits, here is where you can start right now:</strong></p> <p><strong>Online:</strong> Set up your “<strong><a href="https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">my Social Security</a></strong>” account now at <strong><a href="https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SSA.gov/myaccount</a></strong>. If you haven’t logged in since 2022, you might need to switch to Login.gov or ID.me (it’s easy, promise).</p> <p><strong>In-person:</strong> Call that 1-800 number today to book an appointment. Seriously, don’t wait—these slots will fill up fast.</p> <p>Even if you start the process by phone, you’ll still need to verify your identity online or in-person to finish it, as the new mandatory requirement dictates.</p> <p>Bring your government-issued ID (driver’s license, passport), Social Security card (or a copy, but the original is better), a birth certificate (just in case) or tax documents, depending on your situation.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.elmira.es/en/social-security-new-in-person-id-verification/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SOURCE</a></strong></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://wrestlingnews365.com/want-to-claim-your-social-security-i-need-to-do-a-new-in-person-mandatory-requirement-very-soon/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">3543</post-id> </item> </channel></rss>
