Today, Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet and U.S. Senators Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) led a group of 40 senators in calling on the U.S. Treasury Department to take action to ensure that families who are not required to file taxes and will automatically receive their Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) stimulus payment do not need to wait until next year to receive the additional $500 payment per dependent child that they were promised.
