Today many American families are struggling with a financial crunch. If that wasn’t enough, the Delta variant of Covid-19 has made their life even worse.
Now, with almost no source of income, Americans are demanding a fourth stimulus check.
Despite the challenges, many Americans are unlikely to receive fourth stimulus checks in the remaining part of this year.
Instead, the government is focused on sending aid to parents in the form Extended Child Tax Credit Program where they are set to receive the next relief by the 1st half of September next month.
Who’s Eligible to Receive Extended Child Tax Credit Program Funds?
As part of the American Rescue Plan, parents with a newborn baby or a completely dependent individual are eligible to receive fresh funds of up to $1,400. However, it’s not the complete picture.
You won’t receive the payment until you file a tax return next year.
Here’s the complete condition:
Single filers who have income up to $75,000 and joint filers who are married and have a combined income up to $150,000 will be eligible to receive the payment for their new dependent.
The good thing is – The American Rescue Plan did not limit the number of new dependents parents and guardians can claim for this stimulus check without working too much. After multiple credit checks, once you’re qualified to receive the amount, IRS will sent it to you via direct depost of by checks in the mails.
If your family was completely dependent on the stimulus checks & were waiting in line to receive the fourth one, don’t get disappointed. There are many U.S. States where you can get your hands on some extra funds from the government.
