    I have applied for my refund in March 18, 2021. Queries show that something was wrong with either my name or the NIS number and it was completed but not paid out yet. I then recheck and realize that one numeral in the nis number was accidentally placed there. Emailing them is not working. So I apply again. When will I get it?

    Correct nis # is B628770 2nd reference # =B628770-A6234
