After much debate in Congress and after Congress passed a $1.9 trillion dollar bill to further assist Americans through the affects of the COVID pandemic, on March 11, 2021, President Biden executed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 into law. Some of the high points of the Act are as follows: For qualified individuals, the government will make direct payments of $1,400 per individual and $2,800 per married couples. In addition, for every child or other dependent that an individual has, they may also receive an additional $1,400 as well. Several clients have received these checks already so please check your bank accounts for the deposit of these additional funds.
