New $50 Child Tax Credit Plan Aims to Offset Federal Support Loss and Strengthen Families
According to CT Examiner, in Hartford a group of Democratic lawmakers, unions and other organizations are supporting a new $50 child tax credit to help families in Connecticut who have children. The $50 child tax credit is to give families a yearly payment through a tax credit. It would start at $50 for each child and go up to $600 over four years. Families with single adults earning up to $100,000 and couples earning up to $200,000 could get the $50 child tax credit. The federal government’s support for families ended in 2021 making it harder for many families. The new $50 child tax credit aims to fight against the increase in child poverty which went up by 12.4% in 2022.
