Many low-income families and individuals have not claimed Child Tax Credits or the Third Stimulus payment due to them. Families have until November 15, 2022 to claim the credit.

Nearly 90% of children in the U.S. are eligible for the 2021 expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC), which provides up to $3,600 per child. Additional income like the CTC is associated with stronger educational performance, improved health, and reduced stress among kids in families with low incomes. Unfortunately, too many kids are at risk of missing out. You do not have to be tax experts to help!

While the tax filing deadline has passed, families with no or low incomes can still file without penalty and claim the full CTC (or the remaining half if they received 2021 advance payments).

Families have until mid-November to claim the credit on their own through the simplified filing portal, GetCTC.org/orschools. After that, families can still claim the 2021 CTC, but must file full tax returns. They have until April 15, 2025, to do so.

Reduce Barriers to File:

Code For America has created a tool, GetCTC.org, to reduce barriers to people without filing requirements. This tool enables people to claim the Child Tax Credit and third stimulus payment (up to $5,000 per eligible child) - and people can sign up in 15 minutes or less on their mobile devices in English or Spanish. People must file before November 15 to easily get this money this year.

We are excited to share news about a program that many of our families can take advantage of to save some money on their home internet costs. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a U.S. government program run by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program to help households pay for home internet services.

Households that are eligible for free or reduced priced meals qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program. Qualifying households receive $30 off of their home internet bill from participating internet providers.

We highly encourage all eligible households to apply for the ACP and talk to their internet provider to see if they offer the ACP discount. Directions on how to apply for ACP are provided below. If your household qualifies, the FCC will email you a discount code that you submit to your internet provider for the discount to be applied.

Application Directions:

• Free/Reduced Meal Qualification
