“It’s a huge package that will really help people get back on their feet,” said Gilda Jacobs, CEO of the Michigan League for Public Policy, which advocates for racial equity and economic security. “This totally parallels our agenda that we’ve had for years,” she said. “I was doing a happy dance.” The stimulus, known as the American Rescue Plan, includes $1,400 per-person stimulus checks.

Currently planned for one year, boosters hope the benefit would become permanent. The tax credit increases to $3,600 from $2,000 for each child under 6 and to $3,000 from $2,000 for children 6 to 17.
