She also said the island has struggled to deliver $500 payments promised by the governor, new requests for food stamps and over 130,000 pending unemployment requests.
The direct deposits will be released to some of Puerto Rico’s residents after the U.S. Treasury approves of Puerto Rico’s distribution plan, Francisco Parés, Secretary at the Puerto Rico Treasury Department, said last week, according to Puerto Rican business news publication News is my Business. According to the Internal Revenue Service, special rules apply to U.S. territories, and the payments are sent out through the territories’ tax authorities.
