Will the IRS hold the tax relief refund for 6 months like they did the initial refund?

IRS Tax Refund Query by jt_tam_thompson: Will the IRS hold the tax relief refund for 6 months like they did the first refund? I am owed back kid assistance - above $ 16,000 to be a lot more certain. I did get his tax refund for 2007 but they held it for 6 months ahead of sending it to me. I am asking yourself if any individual is aware of any specifics about the tax relief refund. Will they hold this for 6 months also or will it be automatically sent to me?
