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.
The direction of the fan is determined by you looking up at it. During the summer months the fan should be blowing straight down (blades turning counter-clockwise) to help cool you off via a wind chill effect. Fan speed should be on medium or high. During the winter months the fan speed should be set to low and reversed (blades turning clockwise) to help draw room air up towards the ceiling and force the warm air out and down.
