The Government’s Office of Responsibility, the congressional audit arm, said in a report Monday that 8. 7 million or more of others eligible to have an economic effect on bills had not yet won those bills due to inadequate records from the IRS and the Treasury Department.
This was one of the many conclusions of the GAO’s most recent report on the management of the $2. 6 trillion in unprecedented aid approved by Congress last spring to cushion the effect of a severe recession caused by the global pandemic.
