孩童是國家未來之希望

 美國税務局今天向三千六百萬個家庭發出通知，他們將從七月份開始接到對孩童的定期支票。

 在拜登政府一兆九千億的援助國人之计劃案下，六岁以下之孩童可在二〇二一年得到三千六百元，年齡在六至十七歲可得到三千元的省稅補助，這些支票將從七月開始到十二月間寄出。

 過去一年多來，由於疫情之侵害，許多生活在失業和貧窮線下的家庭，由於家中有孩童，更让生活變得雪上加霜，政府為了救助這些貧民戸，同時要維護孩童之成長，因而伸出援手。

 為數三千多萬個家庭，無疑是一個非常龎大的數字，代表了多少尚在飢餓之不幸孩子們，他們是我們国家未來的希望。

 我們更要呼籲政府，除了為孩子們得到飽暖，更要重視他們的學校教育，因為他們的未來是我們共同之责任。

Children Are our Hope For The Future 

The IRS has issued a letter to 36 million families explaining that they may be eligible for a monthly Child Tax Credit payment starting in July.

In the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan passed in March, a one-year expansion of the CTC was included that increased the credit amount and allows it to be distributed in periodic payments in advance.

The maximum credit in 2021 is $3,600 for children under six and $3,000 for children between the ages of 6 and 17.

We are very glad the Biden administration is helping so many families

especially for the children.

In the last several years because of the coronavirus pandemic, many parents of young children lost their jobs and the kids really suffered as a result.

We have seen many cars lined up in food lines trying to feed their families.

It is very sad in America that we still have that many hungry people.

All these kids need to have enough food to survive. In the meantime, they also need to go to school to learn and get educated.

After all, all these kids are the future of our nation.
