With this year’s tax refund, families who are qualified for the Child Tax Credit will get at least half of their total money — $1,800 per child under the age of six or $1,000 per child between the ages of six and seventeen.

Taxpayers who opted out of the monthly payments last year added a new dependent to their household, or had a big change in their income might get considerably more; up to $3,600 per child under the age of six, or $2,000 per child between the ages of six and seventeen, depending on their income.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), whose support is crucial in a Senate that is equally divided, is opposing the plan, claiming that it would just discourage people from working and that any new federal spending will only feed inflation, which has already risen to a four-decade-high level.

Dems in the Senate are urging President Joe Biden to maintain the expanded child tax credit as a “centerpiece” of the delayed social-spending bill.
