Parents are set to be some of the biggest winners under the Biden administration.

Democrats are pushing forward with plans to pass President Joe Biden's fiscal stimulus proposal. Parents are set to be among the biggest beneficiaries.

The president laid out a $1.9 trillion relief package last month meant to accelerate the US economy's rebound from the coronavirus recession. The legislation's most talked-about elements include $1,400 direct payments and an expansion to federal unemployment benefits, but the package could really help every American family, too.

The CARES Act, passed last March, helped parents with direct payments for each child but Democrats are now looking to expand the ways stimulus can alleviate families' economic pressures.

Biden has indicated he aims to pass the measure with bipartisan support, but congressional Democrats have taken several steps to pass the stimulus plan through budget reconciliation, a process that allows the Senate to pass bills by a simple majority.
