Relief for Families
C ontinued froM f ront
Child Tax Credit ever and his-
toric relief to the most working
families ever – and most fami-
lies will automatically receive
monthly payments without
having to take any action.
For those with children, the
plan increased the Child Tax
Credit from $2,000 per child
to $3,000 per child for children
over the age of six and from
$2,000 to $3,600 for children
under the age of six, and raised
the age limit from 16 to 17.
All working families will
get the full credit if they make
up to $150,000 for a couple or
$112,500 for a family with a
single parent (also called Head
of Household).
If you’ve filed tax returns for
2019 or 2020, or if you signed
up to receive a stimulus check
from the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice, you will get this tax relief
automatically. Normally, tax
relief for the year only comes
the following year when you
file your taxes, no matter how
much you need it now.
This year for the first time,
starting in July, monthly pay-
ments will be made. For every
child 6-17 years old, families
will get $250 each month, and
for every child under 6 years
old, families will get $300
each month, officials said.

direct deposit will get these
payments in their bank account
on the 15th of every month
until the end of 2021. People
who don’t use direct deposit
will receive their payment by
mail around the same time. If
you didn’t make enough to be
required to file taxes in 2020 or
2019, you can still get benefits.
Officials said low-income
families with children are eli-
gible for this crucial tax relief
– including those who have
not made enough money to be
required to file taxes.
Wyden said he wants to
make the added child tax relief
a long term proposition. At Al-
bina Head Start, he called for
extending this tax relief for
years and years, supporting
President Biden’s American
Families Plan.
