The news of getting a stimulus package is exciting for the commoner; who won’t be? A stimulus package worth $8000 will be given to two-children families in the year 2022. An eligibility criterion is mandatory to avail of this stimulus payment. This package will be of great help to the cash-strapped parents who faced massive hurdles during the pandemic losing their jobs, salaries halving and falling in the economy.

Who are eligible for the stimulus package

Parents with kids below the age of 13 and who have an income that happens to be less than $125,000 can claim the $8000 package. It s an excellent relief for parents who found it hard to make ends meet with small children as many costs are involved, such as before and after school programs that children are enrolled in and day camps. The other expenses outside of school may involve hiring babysitters, getting housekeepers, and even daycare for the children.

The cash can be utilized for caring for dependents with disabilities, such as the elderly or disabled family members. The stimulus package is a boon for those caring for such members as it carries a lot of expenses which often financially drain out any family’s resources. The relief fund is called out as ‘child & dependent tax credit.’

It is a great stimulus package created specifically keeping working families in mind who usually face specific hurdles that this package easily helps to smoothen out. It aims to offset some of the major expenses of every lower to middle-income household that can now happily financially provide the kids the facilities they deserve to complete schooling and other activities successfully without burdening their parents.

How much do you get paid

The previous stimulus packages paid comparatively less for two or more children of just $6000 with the boost of the package in this financial year of $2000 more has given hope to parents who were already reeling under severe financial constraints due to Covid-19. Now the parents can look forward to collecting $8000 per child ($16000 for two). The onus for the leverage of payment and its benefits goes to the American Rescue Act in 2021.

Voyager’s investment includes creating a fund that will be split across each player and deposited into their own crypto account. Each player is also given financial education on the digital currency from Voyager.

Crypto has found a solid footing in sports. Sports leagues including UFC have been quick to accept and embrace crypto. Crypto.com reached a $175 million deal with UFC. Major League Baseball league reached a massive multi-year deal with FTX last Summer, making it the first partnership between a sports league and a crypto exchange. The deal landed an FTX US patch on all umpire uniforms. The FTX secured the naming rights to the Miami Heat’s arena in a 19-year deal valued at $135 million.

Crypto deals are not limited to traditional sports, more recently crypto platform Algorand reached a $100 million deal with Drone Racing League.  However, some sports leagues are still cautious about new sponsorship deals including the NFL. The NFL restricted teams from making sponsorship deals with cryptocurrency trading firms.
