We are so excited that the American Rescue Plan has authorized a third round of stimulus payments–offering an essential lifeline to so many people struggling during the pandemic and their dependents. We are hopeful that people, particularly non-filers, do not face the same significant obstacles getting the $1400 dependent payments like they did for the first stimulus payments. Those issues are outlined in the Complaint we filed with our partners at Villanova Tax Law Clinic and Berger Montague in McGruder v. Mnuchin, 20-cv-03590 last summer.
