This means that it will not process any newly filed ERC claims until it works through its backlog of more than 600,000 claims, which it estimates will not occur until next year. The moratorium does not mean that the IRS is shutting down the ERC program because the IRS does not have the power to do that; only Congress and the President can do that.
