The way the stimulus check program has worked during the 18 months or so of the COVID-19 pandemic thus far is that three much-needed payments have been sent out automatically. In March and December of 2020, the federal government sent out two checks for $1,200 and $600, respectively, on an automatic basis. That was followed in March of this year, under the Biden administration, by another automatic check. This time for $1,400. Meanwhile, there's another stimulus payment available to take advantage of that many people might not know about. It's Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, one of the main differences from those earlier stimulus checks also being that this benefit needs to actually be asked for. You won't get it automatically, in other words.
