@kaylanewland17 It would be great if people got back on and posted if they got their payment yet. Would at least help let us know. I think these are being treated like refunds by PayPal so they take up to 5 days. ... View more

@Temp20230525az I hope so man. I think maybe if you are really late and not paying anything they will take it. I am employed and paying on time with half my income so hopefully they send it to me. I saw that too about 3 to 5 days. PP is treating these like payments or refunds, not direct deposits. So its taking the same time a refund does. **bleep**. ... View more

I have heard from a friend that there are some dads who owe support but still got their money. So who knows. If it shows up then great. But I'm not expecting it. ... View more

Yeah probably. It says "We scheduled your payment to be deposited..." I'm thinking they send the money then it gets filtered through state agencies who double check if you owe anything. That's why it takes so long and why PayPal has not seen it. I have noticed people have stopped commenting about not getting them. It means they are finally getting their money and they don't bother posting back on here. This sucks. **bleep**. ... View more

What happened is in the 1970s that show 60 minutes did a story on these rich dads who were not supporting their kids after divorce. The while country was outraged and a bunch of moms lobbied Congress to make changes. After that ran, Congress jumped on it and went way too punitive on dads. Now they made all the laws to where thue take every last penny you have. They dont care of you're living out of your car. They will take the gold off your fingers when you die. This is why you can owe the IRS million and still get a stimulus check. But owe back support? Nope. They will confiscate it. I'd rather owe the IRS a million bucks than owe support. At least they give people with Late taxes a break and help them. There is no help for back support. ... View more

@Dontus Please let me know if you end up getting it. I'll keep you updated. I'm interested in yours because you are in the same situation I'm in. And of course isnt it just like the child support office to say your getting a deposit then RIP your heart out. It fits perfectly with how they treat dads. ... View more

@Dontus Well I'm sorry man. I am in arrears too to the tune of $7000 from being unemployed but I am employed now and paying monthly through my employer. They take half my income. I have never had a letter from the IRS saying they were taking my refund. Never. And I have not had a letter saying they are taking my stimulus check either. But I could get one any day now. I'm not getting my hopes up. If it shows up I'll be very happy but I'm not expecting it. I noticed people stopped commenting as much and I'm thinking they are getting their money and not updating on here. The child support offices are a criminal organization that rivals the mob in terms of how much they steal and how many lives they ruin. There could be a meteor strike and nothing left but they will still be open taking our paychecks. They make it impossible to change an existing order, I know because I tried it. They give you the runaround and you have to have an attorney or an agreeable ex. ... View more

@Dontus  Can you send me a message? Wanted to talk to you about this... in a similar situation.    I am current and paying, but owe back support. My employer holds 55% of my income. I have arrears but I am paying. The IRS said I was getting a deposit also on the 15th, but nothing has shown up yet. I did not get a letter from them yet. What does your letter say, and when did you get it?  ... View more

What's happening I think is PP is treating these as payments or refunds, which always take 3 to 5 days. ACH or Direct Deposits go in immediately. But this time PP is acting like these are refunds and payments so they can hold the money and earn interest. Common practice with banks and not illegal. Wrong, but not illegal. ... View more

My chat with agent below. Evidently the IRS haven't really sent it, or PP is holding before dispersing such a huge amount of money.  Tim 2:35 PM   Hi! My name is Tim, thanks for taking the time to contact PayPal today. One moment while I read your previous messages.   I apologize for the delay, we are in the process of posting all payments received from the government. The deposits are being sent out in waives. We will make the funds available to you immediately when we receive them.   It looks like you stepped away from our conversation. That's ok! When you reply the conversation will resume with me or the next available Customer Support team member if I am not available. Our agent will respond to your message within an hour.   You are now connected to Tim   David <removed> 3:11 PM   Okay, just trying to get an idea of when it will be deposited. Is there any indication? Thanks.   IRS said it sent to you on April 15   Tim 3:12 PM   No problem at all! We have been made aware of some delays in the IRS for getting all the payments out. Unfortunately, I do not have a time frame that I can provide, but I can promise that we will make the funds available to you immediately when we receive it. Your file has been uploaded.   Screen Shot 2 ... 8 AM.png / 0.3   David <removed> 3:12 PM   But the IRS said they have sent it to my account.   You have it   See attached message from IRS. They have already sent it to you. You have it.   Tim 3:15 PM   I apologize, but we are unable to see a direct deposit in your account because we do not hold it. It will be made available to you immediately when we get it from them. We are aware that there have been delays in these payments being sent. We will make the funds available to you immediately when we get the deposit.   David <removed> 3:16 PM   Okay thanks   Tim 3:16 PM   You are welcome David! Is there anything else that I can help you with today?   David <removed> 3:18 PM   No thanks. It just seems strange that they schedule the deposit for April 15, yesterday, and there is nothing showing up. It says they have deposited the funds to you.   Tim 3:19 PM   I understand the frustration. I wish that I had more information that I could provide you. At this point, we are waiting on them to get the funds to us. ... View more
