Beginning in July, families across Pennsylvania will receive monthly payments as part of the expanded Child Tax Credit in Democrats’ American Rescue Plan
PENNSYLVANIA— 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 and how it will benefit their families. 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.
“Thanks to President Biden and Democrats, the American Rescue Plan will soon deliver major tax relief for working families with children through a historic expansion of the Child Tax Credit. Despite opposition from every Pennsylvania Republican, the expanded child tax credit will lift 140,000 children out of poverty here in Pennsylvania, help bolster financial security and spur economic growth in our state. Thank you to President Biden and congressional Democrats for putting our working families first,” said Nancy Patton Mills, Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chairwoman.
