Provisions in the bill authorized a third round of stimulus checks worth $1,400 for each eligible person ($2,800 for couples), plus an additional $1,400 for each dependent.
Parents of a child born in 2021 who claim the child as a dependent on their 2021 income tax return may be eligible to receive a 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit of up to $1,400 for this child.
Eligible families can receive $1,400 per dependent, so an average family of four (two parents and two dependents) could receive a total $5,600. Here are the income limits for receiving a full $1,400 stimulus check: Single taxpayers with an adjusted gross income below $75,000 (phases out completely at $80,000 or above)
For the third stimulus check, all your dependents qualify, regardless of age. This means that for each child or adult dependent you have, you can claim an additional $1,400. This is different from the first and second stimulus checks, which only allowed child dependents (under 17) to get the additional payment.
The expanded Child Tax Credit payments can help out a family a lot. The government sends families $300 for each child under the age of 6. Families get $250 per child aged 6 to 17. The payments are happening between July and December of 2021.
Couples who file jointly could get up to $2,800. Additionally, eligible dependents could also receive $1,400. To qualify, you had to be either a U.S. citizen or resident alien in 2021. You also had to have a valid Social Security number, though there are certain exceptions for spouses or dependents.
President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act on March 11, 2021. Provisions in the bill authorized a third round of stimulus checks worth $1,400 for each eligible person ($2,800 for couples), plus an additional $1,400 for each dependent.
Anyone who qualifies for a stimulus check themselves will also receive the same amount for any dependents they claimed on their most recent return (not just those under 17). If you qualify for less than the full stimulus amount, that's the amount your dependents will also receive.
Third round of stimulus checks: March 2021
On Thursday 11 March, Biden signed his $1.9tn American Rescue Plan into law. The third payment provided eligible individual taxpayers for a check of up to $1,400, while couples filing jointly could receive a maximum of $2,800.
The payments were $1,400 per qualifying adult ($2,800 for married taxpayers filing a joint return) and $1,400 per dependent. For the third round of stimulus payments, taxpayers could get payments for dependents of all ages, including children over the age of 17, college students, and adults with disabilities.
Those eligible will automatically receive an Economic Impact Payment of up to $1,400 for individuals or $2,800 for married couples, plus $1,400 for each dependent.

The third stimulus check was sent out to eligible American families starting back in March 2021 as part of the American Rescue Plan Act.
The third payment included up to an additional $1,400 for each dependent you claimed on your 2020 tax return (or your 2019 return if a 2020 return had not been filed or processed) with a valid social security number (SSN) or Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number issued by the IRS.
The IRS will automatically send a third stimulus payment to people who filed a 2019 or 2020 federal income tax return. People who receive Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement benefits, or veterans benefits will receive a third payment automatically, too.

Another rebate will be issued to all taxpayers. Single filers will receive $500, and joint filers will receive $1,000. This rebate will be split into two equal payments, delivered in June and August 2022. The funds will be sent automatically to taxpayers who filed a 2021 state return.
All third-round stimulus checks have been sent out, the IRS announced Wednesday. If you haven't received all of the money you are eligible for, you will need to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2021 tax return. The third stimulus checks were technically advance payments of that credit.
