Dependents will also receive the stimulus payment which means a family of four could get $5,600.
On top of that, the current $2,000 child tax credit has been increased too. $3,600 per child up to age five and $3,000 per child from ages 6 to 17.
"It would be nice to have help instead of using your last to pay rent," said Kia Fowler.
In addition, the tax credit will be refundable, which means you can receive the money even if your tax bill is zero.
"Making the tax credit fully refundable is an incredibly smart and targeted way to help those who are most in need," said Kathy Fisher of the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger.
