The US Government is sending money each month to families with children as part of its new American Rescue Plan.
You ARE eligible if you have children living at home who are US citizens, DACA, legal permanent residents, or temporary residents, as long as they have Social Security numbers.
Applying will NOT affect your immigration status or other benefits such as SNAP, SSI, TANF, or WIC.
You (parents) do NOT need to be US citizens but must have either a Social Security number (SS#) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN#).
If you do not have access to a computer, you may use one at your local library or go to Rep. Seth Moulton’s office at 21 Front St., Salem for assistance.
You DO have to apply if you have not filed income taxes for 2020 and are not required to. (Those who have filed will automatically receive payments.)
It’s not too late! Even if you missed applying for the July 15 payment, you can still sign up for Child Tax Credit payments. Missed payments will be given next year.
