House Democrat leaders on Tuesday celebrated the anticipated passage on Wednesday of their $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, only a fraction of which is related to COVID relief.
And those Democrats already are planning to make some of the provisions permanent, including the expanded child tax credit, which will send government checks to millions of families every month, but only for the 2021 tax year.
The legislation provides a child tax credit of $3,000 per child, up from the current $2,000; the amount is $3,600 for children under age 6. The full expanded credit will be available to individuals making up to $75,000 and married couples making up to $150,000.
In a new twist, families won't have to wait until they file their taxes to get the child allowance. The payments, around $300 a month, would start going out in July, but only through December 2021.
