The $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill passed by Congress last week includes an extension of federal unemployment benefits.
President Joe Biden signed the stimulus bill, known as the American Rescue Plan, on Thursday. It funnels more than $1 billion in aid to state and local governments, as well as direct aid to families.
The plan includes $1,400 direct payments for people making up to $75,000 and couples making up to $150,000.
It also includes a temporary expansion of the child tax credit, increasing it to $3,600 for children under 6 years old and $3,000 for children 6 to 17 years old.
