DUers with kids under 18, have you received your July tax credits yet?

The first round of monthly payments of $250-$300 per child have been issued and they will continue every month through the end of the year. The $3.5T reconciliation bill in the Senate supposedly extends (and expands?) those credits in the coming years.

1. What I feared the most...

nobody on DU has children that are under 18. All of those missed procreational opportunities because they were on DU instead.

2. But don't you just imagine all those empty headed

Trump followers, having no idea, suddenly finding out Uncle Joe is giving them MONEY every month? Who’s your UNCLE! 😜🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

4. We need to help explain, this is a democratic policy because

We are the party that has your families backs

And that the reconciliation bill will extend this benefit

This has potential to change families lives

3. I am raising grandkids, we should get the monthly money

But haven’t yet

It’s early

5. Did you get Joe's letter?

7. My daughter received theirs DDeposit today.

She's pretty happy with President Biden

9. I got a deposit today, but it's not the child credit payment. It's my tax refund on

the unemployment I received last year. I had filed my tax return before the taxes on 2020 unemployment benefits were lifted.

On this subject, I think the payment of these child tax credits "up front" is a good idea.
People can use that money now, instead of waiting to receive it as part of a tax refund.
This should be made permanent.

10. The reconciliation bill that came out of committee does extend it

While it’s great people won’t have to wait for their tax refunds , half the credit will be there at tax time, so best of both worlds

12. Yea, indeed. nt
