Today is Child Tax Credit Awareness Day, aimed at ensuring parents know about the American Rescue Plan’s historic expansion of the Child Tax Credit.
In Pennsylvania, the tax credit will provide relief of up to $1,600 per child to 3 million families, lifting 140,000 children across the commonwealth out of poverty, according to the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. Beginning in July, families across the state will receive monthly payments as part of the expanded plan.
Nancy Patton Mills, Pennsylvania Democratic Party chairwoman, said the Child Tax Credit would “help bolster financial security and spur economic growth in our state.”
The American Rescue Plan passed without Republican support.
