What did Mark Meadows predict about the economy in August 2020?
Mark Meadows, White House chief of staff ·
there no way that any member in Congress is going to force somebody to pay that back. They'll forgive it.
Not forgiven; repayment due by end-2021
Meadows said Congress would forgive the deferred payroll tax. It did not; Congress only extended the deadline to pay it back to Dec. 31, 2021.
Congress did not forgive the deferred employee Social Security tax; the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Dec. 27, 2020) only extended the period for employers to withhold and pay it back to Dec. 31, 2021 (IRS Notice 2021-11).
