“More than 10,000,000 accounts out of 70,000,000 are already funded. With $4,500,000,000”

What the record shows
As of Oct. 1, 2026: 70 million accounts auto-enrolled (created but not claimed); 7 million previously had voluntary signups. IRS CEO projected up to 25 million could receive funding by mid-October 2026, but no independent source confirms 10 million accounts currently funded with $4.5 billion.
Claim conflates account enrollment with actual funding. No source confirms 10M funded accounts or $4.5B deployed. Bisignano's 25M projection is future-looking, not current achievement.
