Re: Child Tax Credit & Affordable Connectivity Program
Dear Parents / Guardians,
Please see the memo link below regarding subject items. We hope the available benefits will help.
Thank you and God bless.
Memo: Child Tax Credit & ACP
Also below are links to assist with Child Tax Credit and others.
Thank you for registering for yesterday’s event, Supporting Families During Back to School: The Child Tax Credit & Affordable Connectivity Program. We hope that you will join us in our effort to spread the word to eligible households during back to school time. Time is winding down for eligible families to easily claim at least $3,000 per child with the Child Tax Credit at ChildTaxCredit.gov (if they have not yet filed taxes). People can get this money even if they have low or no incomes and have never filed taxes before. ChildTaxCredit.gov helps most people file in 15 minutes or less on their mobile devices in English or Spanish. Help us spread the word by sending at least 2-3 messages in the lead-up to the deadline!
