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 way it needs to spin to produce that effect depends on which way the fan blades are angled. But for most ceiling fans, the blades should turn: 1  counter-clockwise at higher speeds in the summer to move a breeze around.  clockwise at lower speeds in the winter to help distribute heat around the room.
