If the tax refund offset payment is from an individual tax return, it will take at least 10 weeks for the payment to be credited. For a joint tax return, it may take up to 6 months for any federal (IRS) offset payment to be applied.
In the summer, the preferred direction for a ceiling fan to spin in is a counterclockwise direction as you look up at the fan blades. You will feel a cool downward airflow as you stand directly under the fan. In the winter, the preferred direction for a ceiling fan to spin in is a clockwise direction.
This is also know as the reverse direction. Blades moving in this direction draw cooler air up toward the ceiling, displacing the hot air that tends to collect at ceiling level. By bring the hot air down into the room, there's less need to run the heating system, which lowers energy bills. Most modern ceiling fans have a switch that controls the direction the fan moves. Those fans that have remote controls have a button for that function, as well.
