The 1st Child Tax Credit checks were delivered to bank accounts on July 15, 2021!

Over 2 million children in North Carolina are benefiting from this much needed relief; including the majority of families with kids under 17 in Transylvania County. Are you a Parent with Kids in K-12 in Brevard or Rosman?

For the first time, people will receive the Child Tax Credit in monthly payments. For every child 6-17 years old, families will get $250 each month, and for every child under 6 years old, families will get $300 each month.

“Today’s payments are a huge win for working families across North Carolina. Thanks to President Biden and Democrats, North Carolina families will begin receiving a tax cut monthly, helping to cover expenses like childcare, preparing for back to school, and supporting return to work for folks who lost their jobs or income during the pandemic – especially mothers. This major tax relief for working families is poised to lift hundreds of thousands of North Carolina children out of poverty, no thanks to a single Republican in Congress.

“These tax cuts are further proof that President Biden and Democrats are delivering for working families. North Carolina, help is here.” NCDP Chair Dr. Bobbie Richardson

Despite the overwhelming benefits the Child Tax Credit provides to families struggling through the Covid-19 Pandemic, every single Republican in Congress opposed expanding the Child Tax Credit and its direct payments to American families. 

The American Rescue Plan is the most consequential piece of legislation for working families in modern American history. It is a historic response to the moment of crisis we face and will make a real difference in the lives of Americans by creating jobs, providing economic relief, and defeating this virus.

In America, 66 MILLION KIDS WILL BENEFIT FROM CHILD TAX CREDIT: ARP lifts 11 million people out of poverty and cuts child poverty in half, including through a historic expansion of the child tax credit that will benefit 66 million kids across our country.
