'It's going to hurt us tremendously:' Parents worry about the end of monthly child tax credit payments investinyou (In partnership with acorns.)
That's significant for parents who are working but haven't all been able to get back to their pre-pandemic jobs and incomes.
Lafleur Duncan, 53, lost her job as a nanny during the pandemic, and has been unable to return. Now, she's working helping people improve their credit, but has found it difficult to make a steady income, she said. Her husband, a chef who works in a corporate building, is still working reduced hours because of Covid.
"It was stopping a big hole and if they take it away, it's going to hurt us tremendously," said Duncan.Of course, Congress could still pass Build Back Better and extend the payments for one more year. But if that action doesn't happen before Dec. 28, families may see a gap in payments or get checks later than usual in January.
She's been glad to have a safety net. Cuene went through a divorce in 2019 and so now lives on only her income. In addition, she was laid off twice during the pandemic, and periods of unemployment eroded her savings.
