New Federal Child Tax Credit
The City of Philadelphia is working to inform all Philadelphians with children about the new federal Child Tax Credit that was part of the American Rescue Plan that passed in March. We estimate more than 90% of kids in the city are eligible (there is no minimum income limit) for payments of $250 or $300 month from the IRS, starting in July. If everyone who is eligible is able to claim it, we could drop the child poverty rate in the city by a third this year, and drop deep poverty by half. We need to make sure Philadelphians with children understand that they need to file taxes to claim the money, and then they have been doing a lot of federal advocacy to help make sure that implementation is designed for as much success as possible.
