Final vote on COVID relief package expected tomorrow By Brandon Richard | March 9, 2021 at 6:10 PM CST - Updated March 9 at 6:38 PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The COVID-19 relief bill Congress is considering could provide a big boost for a lot of Mid-South families.
A family of four could receive over $12,000 when combining the stimulus checks with the increased child tax credit.
A final vote on that bill, known as the American Rescue Package, could come as early as Wednesday.
The bill will provide $1,400 stimulus checks for most Mid-Southerners.
Those who make under $75,000 will receive the full amount. The amount will be quickly phased out after that.
