The bill would require Customs and Border Protection to update congressional committees every 30 days on the status of refunds until all payments are completed.
The average amount increased from $2,169 last year to $2,476 as of Feb. 13, 2026, the agency says, with more returns expected to increase the final figure.
The move comes at a moment of mounting tensions between Iran and the United States, as Iranian leaders have threatened a regional conflict if attacked.
