Everything makes sense now, thanks a ton for the help..

Thanks for the help, though I guess most of this is still pretty fuzzy to me. What I’m actually trying to wrap my head around is whether those old statutes of limitations are even still a thing—like, do those six or ten-year windows still apply, or does everything just change starting this year because of that new law mentioned above?

Since I’m probably not explaining this very clearly, here’s a link that covers what’s going on and basically what I’m trying to figure out.
To get into the specifics, I’m looking at some unpaid taxes and social security contributions from a small business I used to run—which isn't even active anymore. The debt is definitely there, but nobody has actually started the collection process or anything yet. Now, if I remember correctly, I think the absolute statute of limitations for tax debt kicks in after six years, while social security stuff lasts about ten? Is that actually right? What I really want to know is whether I could potentially use the statute of limitations as a defense if they ever decide to come after me, despite whatever that regulation in the link says.
Could someone please clarify if the info in this link actually applies to my situation, or if it's talking about something else entirely?

I was wondering if anyone could clarify whether that new statute of limitations law actually passed yet—the one where the clock doesn't even start ticking until a collection agent officially verifies the debt exists—or if it’s still just stuck in the legislative pipeline somewhere in D.C.? I guess if it is still just a proposal, does filing an objection to the statute of limitations right now mean they'd have to follow the current laws, where the clock starts running from the moment the obligation is first created?
