We also have had the same experience and suppose that we will need to manually make some changes when we file our 2nd quarter 941.  Irritation! 

Sage send me a KB write up but i couldn't find it on the knowledge base yet.  I'm worried we will get to the end of the quarter and have to make corrections.

Our tax group that changed the Employer Social Security Tax credit effective April 1, 2021 in regards to the American Rescue Plan Act, provided an internal document summarizing their notifications, including Thomson Reuters.  This is an excerpt from that document specifically regarding this subject.  

Paid Sick and Family Leave Credits

Changes under ARPA apply to amounts paid with respect to calendar quarters beginning after March 31, 2021.

• Extends the FFCRA paid sick time and paid family leave credits from March 31, 2021 through September 30, 2021.
• Provides that paid sick and paid family leave credits may each be increased by the employer's share of Social Security tax (6.2%) and employer's share of Medicare tax (1.45%) on qualified leave wages. Note: the leave is no longer exempt from employer Social Security tax, instead the tax is added to the amount of the credit resulting in no net change to the employer’s cost of providing the leave. This change is likely due to rules around the budget reconciliation process that was used to move the Act through the Senate. 

Until IRS publishes more formal documentation, the bill is available at https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/1319/text#toc-H0C64EDF517EE4199858EAB8014344039

Thanks for sharing that Linda

Any updates?  I have a client that needs to start paying for employees again under the new American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
