The reversal followed a call by Congresswoman Kenda Horn (OK-5) and other lawmakers yesterday for the Treasury Department to issue automatic payments to seniors, disabled vets, and other Americans for whom the Social Security Administration and federal government has information.\r\nCongresswoman Kendra Horn (OK-5) released the following statement on Twitter:\r\nI'm happy to see @USTreasury making the right choice: Social Security recipients will receive economic impact payments automatically, no need to file an additional return. Thank you to those who joined my call for timely assistance for seniors and vets!\r\nCongresswoman Horn's original statement calling on the Treasury to issue automatic payments to Social Security beneficiaries is available here.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://horn.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=211"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0108810383826494, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
