It's been 10 weeks and 2 days since they received my Injured Spouse claim on 2/6, according to my transcript. Still no decision made, apparently, since they have not posted a subsequent payment to me. We never even got the notification that his refund was going to be offset in the first place, which they were supposed to send 45 days beforehand. Filing early apparently screwed us, since this is a student loan debt they offset, and the Department of Education is refunding those - but only ones processed after March 13! How is that fair? I still need the money , even though I filed my taxes earlier!! I'm in agreement, I think they should have to pay interest. You know they would be charging me interest if I owed the money to them!
