The stimulus package, which Biden signed into law Thursday, temporarily boosts the Child Tax Credit to up to $3,600 per child for children under the age of six and $3,000 for minors between the ages of 6 and 17, and makes them available in monthly increments.
“I ve tried to help coordinate a full court press in America to make the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit changes permanent in the United States of America, so we can join our industrial peers and invest in America s children,” he said.
