The IRS still had approximately 597,000 unprocessed ERC claims as of early 2025 — with average wait times stretching beyond 600 days. CareFront USA connects businesses with a specialist ERTC advocacy program that has helped recover over $1.5 billion in ERC filings and can deliver up to 95% of your refund in as little as 120 days.
The Employee Retention Credit is a refundable payroll tax credit created to reward businesses that kept employees on payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike PPP loans, it doesn't need to be paid back — it's a direct cash refund from the IRS, worth up to $21,000 per W-2 employee.
The problem isn't eligibility. The problem is the backlog. Many businesses filed their 941-X amendments and have been waiting years with no movement. Others filed through companies that have since disappeared, leaving no one to advocate for their claim.
CareFront USA connects you with a proven program built specifically to cut through that backlog and get your money moving.

The IRS processed a massive volume of ERC claims during the pandemic — and then slowed dramatically due to fraud reviews, internal backlogs, and staffing constraints. As of April 2025, nearly 600,000 claims remained unprocessed, with average wait times exceeding 622 days.
Many of those businesses filed correctly, qualify fully, and are simply stuck in a queue with no visibility and no one pushing on their behalf. That's the gap our specialist partner fills.
CareFront USA introduces you to a specialist team that handles the entire acceleration process on your behalf. Here's what that looks like:
Complete a simple 15-minute application through our specialist partner. No upfront cost, no commitment.
The team reviews your existing ERC claim, screens for any red flags, and confirms you're a fit for the acceleration program.
Using IRS-approved forms — including Form 8821 for transcript access, Form 3911 for refund tracing, and Form 911 for emergency escalation — the specialist team advocates directly with the IRS on your behalf. Congressional inquiries are escalated if needed.
When the IRS check arrives, 95% goes directly to you via same-day deposit. The program fee is only deducted after you're paid — zero upfront, zero risk.
This is an IRS advocacy and acceleration service for businesses with already-filed ERC claims.
