\n

After a few weeks of back-and-forth, President Joe Biden\u2019s American Rescue Plan became a reality in March 2021\u2014and with it came a third <\/em>stimulus check\u00a0hitting Americans\u2019 bank accounts. But the American Rescue Plan had a lot more stuff in it than just the stimulus checks. The Biden administration called the plan an emergency legislative package to help the country bounce back from the COVID-19 crisis, and it included a lot of the policies\u00a0Biden campaigned\u00a0on too.\n <\/p>\n

But how does all of that affect you? Let\u2019s take a look at how these changes from the American Rescue Plan impact your wallet.\n <\/p>\n

What Did the American Rescue Plan Do?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The American Rescue Plan came with a huge price tag of $1.9 trillion to spend on (among other things)\u00a0sending out\u00a0stimulus direct payments, upping the Child Tax Credit, extending bonus unemployment benefits until September 2021, expanding the Child and Dependent Care Credit, and offering rental assistance.1<\/sup>,2<\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

Yeah, that\u2019s a mouthful. Let\u2019s walk you thought some of the heavy hitters from the American Rescue Plan. \u00a0\n <\/p>\n

It Revised the Child Tax Credit<\/h2>\n

If you have kids, listen up\u2014the Child Tax Credit got a major bump. The American Rescue Plan not only increases the amount of the credit, it also makes\u00a0big<\/em>\u00a0changes in how parents will receive it.\n <\/p>\n

Normally, parents can receive a maximum tax credit of $2,000 for each qualifying child under age 17. If the parents owe income taxes, the credit reduces their tax bill dollar for dollar. The usual Child Tax Credit is also partially refundable, so if the amount of the credit is more than the taxes they owe, parents can get a refund of up to 15% of the household\u2019s income above $2,500 (figuring that out requires some weird math).3<\/sup>\u00a0\n <\/p>\n

Under the American Rescue Plan, the Child Tax Credit bumps up to $3,000 for children ages 6\u00ad\u201317 and $3,600 for children under age 6. It\u2019s also fully refundable\u2014no more weird math! (Well, at least not for the refund.)4<\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

So, for a family with three children, ages 12, 8 and 5, and a household income of $75,000 a year, their usual Child Tax Credit would be $6,000. And even with the weird math, they could get a refund for the full amount. Under Biden\u2019s American Rescue Plan, that same family would get a $9,600, fully refundable credit.\n <\/p>\n

But instead of applying the full amount of the credit to income taxes they might owe or getting a refund after they file their taxes, parents get the credit up front in monthly payments of $250 per qualifying child ($300 for children under age 6). These credits from the IRS began rolling out in July 2021 and will end in December 2021. The change would be\u00a0only<\/em>\u00a0for 2021 (for now)\u2014but there\u2019s support in Congress and the White House for making it a permanent deal for years to come.\n <\/p>\n

What does that mean for you?\u00a0<\/strong>Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, you could go ahead and get half the amount of the tax credit you\u2019re eligible for (based on your 2019 or 2020 income) between July and December of 2021. Then, you\u2019d claim the rest on your 2021 taxes.\n <\/p>\n

If you receive the advance payments and it turns out you shouldn\u2019t have because a child you claimed before is no longer your dependent, you\u2019ll be spared from paying back up to $2,000 per child if you are a single taxpayer who makes less than $40,000 or a married couple who makes less than $60,000.\n <\/p>\n

But what if you didn\u2019t want the up-front credit? An online portal was created to let parents opt out of advance payments and report any changes in income, marital status or number of eligible children. You\u2019d be responsible for keeping your information updated to avoid any surprises at tax time.\n <\/p>\n

Those advance payments are a good way to keep more of your own money in your pocket throughout the year. And we\u2019re a big fan of that\u2014but only if it doesn\u2019t create a tax bill for you when it comes time to file your 2021 taxes.\n <\/p>\n

Check in with\u00a0your tax pro\u00a0who will be the best source of information on this new tax credit change. They\u2019ll help you make the right call on how or if you should accept the advance payments, and how best to plan your taxes so you don\u2019t end up with a big bill or a crazy-high refund.\n <\/p>\n

It Expanded the Child and Dependent Care Credit<\/h2>\n

The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit expanded to help families with expenses like day care for kids under 13. Before, the maximum credit was $3,000 ($6,000 for multiple dependents) for qualified expenses.\u00a0Congress decided to raise the max to $8,000 ($16,000 for multiple dependents) and increase the maximum amount you could be reimbursed from 35% to 50%.5<\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

The changes make more people eligible for the credit, too, by raising the income limit for the full amount from $15,000 to $125,000. Taxpayers making between $125,000 and $400,000 would be eligible for a partial credit.6<\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

Another bonus\u2014the credit will become fully refundable, meaning parents could get a refund for the credit even if their tax bill is zero.\n <\/p>\n

What does that mean for you?\u00a0<\/strong>In real life, that means a family paying $30,000 a year for day care for two kids would see their Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit go from $6,000 to $15,000. But just like the changes to the Child Tax Credit, these updates are only for 2021 (for right now).\n <\/p>\n

It Continued the Ban on Evictions and Provided Additional Renter\u2019s Assistance<\/h2>\n

In one of his first acts as president, Joe Biden extended the freeze on evictions\u00a0that Congress first passed in March 2020 under the CARES Act. The extension continued the ban on evictions for people who can\u2019t pay their rent because of job loss or a drop in income due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\n <\/p>\n

While the ban on evictions helped many renters stay in their homes, it didn\u2019t help them with any back rent they owed in the meantime. In December 2020, Congress approved $25 billion in emergency renter\u2019s assistance to help renters and landlords cover their housing costs. The American Rescue Plan piled another $30 billion on top of that and keep the aid coming to cover unpaid rent, utilities and other fees.7<\/sup> The new funding extended the national program until it expired in September 2021.8<\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

What does that mean for you?<\/strong>\u00a0 The national freeze on evictions and rental assistance has ended, but you might be one of the people still struggling to pay rent each month. How can you keep a roof over your head now? Here\u2019s our take:\n <\/p>\n

Some states are still offering a freeze on evictions (and utilities), so check what\u2019s happening at your local level.9<\/sup>\u00a0Rent is one of your Four Walls (food, utilities, shelter, transportation), which means it\u2019s one of the four most important things you need to pay each month in order to keep on surviving. So if you need the help to keep a roof over your head, take it. That will lift at least part of the burden and clear your mind so you can make plans to find work and get your income back up.\n <\/p>\n

In the meantime, throw whatever money you have at keeping your Four Walls paid for. Everything else can wait. Focus on that until your income is stable and you can build up your savings and move on to the\u00a0Baby Steps.\n <\/p>\n

Getting behind on your rent, losing your job, or losing income isn\u2019t just a blow to your budget\u2014it can steal your hope that things will ever get better. But a solid plan can make all the difference. You just need to know where to start. Take three minutes to answer\u00a0a few questions, and you\u2019ll know exactly where you are with your money\u2014and how to get to where you want to be.\n <\/p>\n

It Provided a Homeowner Stimulus\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Part of the money from the American Rescue Plan ($10 billion, to be exact) was set aside to be used for the Homeowners Assistance Fund\u2014aka a homeowner stimulus of sorts.10<\/sup> The Homeowners Assistance Fund lends a hand to homeowners who are struggling to cover their mortgage month after month. It helps them pay for their mortgage and avoid late payments and foreclosures.\n <\/p>\n

What does that mean for you? <\/strong>You can apply for this homeowner stimulus relief if you\u2019ve gone through financial hardship of some kind since January 2020 (like losing your job, making less money, etc.). You\u2019ll also need to meet the income limits and have a remaining mortgage loan balance of $548,250 or less.11<\/sup>\n <\/p>\n

It Continued the Boosted Unemployment Benefits Through September 2021<\/h2>\n

With the passage of the American Rescue Plan, people who were receiving unemployment benefits continued to get the beefed-up payments\u2014$300 a week on top of the regular benefit\u2014but it ended on September 6, 2021.12<\/sup> Yep, that\u2019s right. The extra unemployment benefits ended on Labor Day\u2014oh, the irony.\n <\/p>\n

The plan also extended federal unemployment programs created in response to the job losses caused by the pandemic in two ways:\n <\/p>\n

On top of boosting benefits and making them available for longer, the new law made the first $10,200 in unemployment benefits tax-free for people with an income of less than $150,000.13\u00a0<\/sup>But the tax break only applies to unemployment you received in 2020. So if you\u2019ve already filed your 2020 taxes or you opted to have income taxes taken out of your unemployment benefits when you received them, look for the IRS to give you instructions on how to take advantage of this tax break.\n <\/p>\n

What does that mean for you?<\/strong>\u00a0The extended unemployment checks have ended, but depending on when you first filed, you might still qualify for the \u201cregular\u201d amount if you\u2019re still unemployed. You can double-check with your local unemployment office to see where you stand now.\n <\/p>\n

We know, you\u2019d rather have a job than an unemployment check, but don\u2019t let yourself get discouraged here. Keep applying for all the jobs out there and sprucing up your resum\u00e9. If you need extra cash while you\u2019re in between jobs, there are a ton of ways to make extra money\u2014you just have to know where to look.\n <\/p>\n

It\u00a0Didn\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0Raise the Minimum Wage<\/h2>\n

There were talks this might get pushed through, but that\u2019s all it was\u2014talk. The plan\u00a0almost\u00a0<\/em>included an increase to the minimum wage, that is, until a Senate official said, \u201cNo can do.\u201d That\u2019s because lawmakers moved the bill through using a process called \u201creconciliation\u201d\u2014and that requires it to have a budget impact. The Senate\u2019s chief parliamentarian (fancy name for a person whose job it is to make sure lawmakers follow the rules), said the minimum wage plan didn\u2019t meet that requirement, so it couldn\u2019t be voted on.14<\/sup> And the rest is history\u2014raising the minimum wage didn\u2019t make the cut when it came to the final version of the American Rescue Plan.\n <\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean lawmakers will give up on the plan though. The federal minimum wage has been $7.25 an hour for more than a decade, and President Biden and many in Congress say that needs to change to help the U.S. recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.15<\/sup>\u00a0So, lawmakers could try to find another way to grow the minimum wage to $15 sometime later on down the road.\n <\/p>\n

What does that mean for you?<\/strong>\u00a0We won\u2019t sugarcoat it\u2014living on the current minimum wage is tough. It\u2019s not surprising that workers making minimum wage right now would get excited about a possible change. But if the plan ever does go into effect, it won\u2019t be all sunshine and roses. Expect fewer hours\u2014even fewer entry-level jobs\u2014while businesses absorb the impact of the increase to their bottom line.\n <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re making minimum wage, or\u00a0any<\/em>\u00a0income you\u2019re not happy about, there\u2019s no need to wait on the government to solve that for you. (Clearly, you could be waiting a long time!) You have the option to find a better-paying job\u00a0today<\/em>.\u00a0Ken Coleman\u00a0has been helping people figure out what role they were meant for\u2014and how to land their dream job\u2014for years through his daily show and his book,\u00a0The Proximity Principle<\/em>.\n <\/p>\n

You can learn how to build up your skills and make yourself more marketable for jobs in your area. That will put you on the road to better opportunities and higher income throughout your career.\n <\/p>\n

Your Real Rescue Plan<\/h2>\n

Whew! You still with us? That\u2019s enough legislation jargon, numbers and facts to sink a battleship. And even though the American Rescue Plan represents a lot of change and a lot (a lot<\/em>) of taxpayer money\u2014our advice is still the same:\n <\/p>\n

The answers to your money problems will not come from Washington, D.C.\u2014ever. No matter your situation, you have the power to improve it, whether you\u2019re drowning in debt, lost your job, or just want a more secure financial future for yourself and your family.\u00a0Financial Peace University <\/em>has taught millions of people how to pay off debt, save money, and build wealth\u2014no government rescue plan needed.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
