Stephanie Bonin, who owns a restaurant in Denver, Colorado with her husband, petitioned Congress over a year ago. He now has over 2,4 million signatures.

“Our country is still in a difficult situation. The recovery has left many Americans untouched—the true unemployment rate for low-wage workers is estimated at more than 20%, and many people have faced significant debt since last year for things like utilities, rent and child care,” she wrote.

“These are all reasons why payments should be targeted to people who are still struggling and that Congress should learn from the past year. It took Congress nine months to pass the second package of payments and just minutes to spend the money. Moving forward, Congress should make automatic recurring payments subject to certain conditions,” the petition states.

“For our team and other Americans who may qualify for unemployment benefits, even the maximum benefits will not be enough to keep most people paying their bills and avoid falling into poverty. The facts are that even successful small businesses cannot remain closed for months, the petition states. “But providing Americans with monthly support until they can get back on their feet can save our communities from financial ruin.”

There are other ways to get money.

Child and dependent care credits are part of the $1,9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act signed into law by US President Joe Biden in March. The amount of eligible expenses for the Child and Dependent Care Credit has increased under the law and will be reimbursed—but only in 2021.

This year, those who qualify can claim specific expenses of up to $ 8000 for one eligible child, or $ 16000 for two or more eligible dependents. Both amounts are more than double the previous limits.
