Treasury Announces Release of “Next Batch of Refund Checks”

3303025

Here’s an announcement that many have been waiting for.

Treasury said in a notice signed by Treasurer Ueligitione Tonumaipe’a “the next batch of tax refund checks will be issued” beginning at 10 am tomorrow, Friday March 11.

This is the first notice from the Tax office concerning the release of tax refund checks .

KHJ News reported this morning that Treasury has been quietly releasing refund checks for ASG employees claiming they need medical treatment or one of their family members require medical attention.

Our sources say that about 50 such checks have been issued since late January when ASG employees began filing their taxes upon getting their W2 forms.

But cannery workers and other private sector wage earners who filed earlier were still waiting for their checks.

It appears from today’s announcement that they will finally receive their refunds.

Interestingly the Tax Office announcement doesn’t say the first batch of tax refunds will be released tomorrow.

The wording of the notice is “the next batch of refund checks” will be released tomorrow.

At any rate, according to the notice all tax filings from the 1st to the 29th of January, 2016 are included in the batch that will be out tomorrow.

The total value of the checks is $1.6 million.

The notice says: “To assist you with tracking your refunds, always keep in mind your filing date, that is when and how the batches or tax refunds are disbursed. Again, we thank you for your patience.

“If you have any questions or require enquire additional information, please contact Mr. Richard Jimmerson or Mrs. Caroline Talia via richard.jimmerson@tr.as.gov or caroline.talia@tr.as.gov or 633-4181.
