Many families have already been receiving monthly payments from the IRS as part of the credit that was included in the American Rescue Plan. Here's what parents should understand about the program:

Instead of $2,000, the credit grows to $3,000 per child for those age 6 through 17 and $3,600 for children under age 6. The IRS is sending families monthly advance payments for half the amount you're owed starting in July 2021 and running through the end of the year – December 2021.

If you're owed $3,000, (per child for ages 6 to 17)

- you'll get $250 a month for 6 months - Payments in July – December 2021: total of $1,500/per child

- you will collect the other $1,500 when you file taxes. 

If owed $3,600 for child under age 6 (per child for ages 0-5)

- you'll get $300 a month for 6 months - Payments in July – December 2021: total of $1,800/per child

- you will collect the other $1,800 when you file taxes. 

To qualify, the family must have filed either a 2019 or 2020 tax return. Qualification for the payments is based on the reported income and begins to phase out for higher incomes. 

- $75,000 for single filers

- $150,000 for a couple
