Families in the US can expect to get their final CTC stimulus checks in a few days but it may be the scheme’s final payment, as Congress debates how to keep such checks going.

The expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC) was a part of the American Rescue Plan passed by Congress in March and has been viewed as a great success for the Democrats. It had lifted around 3.5 million children out of poverty, before August.

The CTC stimulus checks have helped over 35 million families deal with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic since it was signed into law by President Biden. It began in July with payments that have been increased to up to $3,600 per child, up from the previous $2,000.
