There are thousands of households set to receive a child tax credit worth as much as $750 in only five days.
This new law will send families child tax credit payments worth $250 per child, with a limit of three children.
This bill was passed on May 9 in Connecticut after being signed by Governor Ned Lamont.
The state’s surplus allowed the payments to happen.
It’s worth $4 billion dollars, and tax rebates are part of an updated plan that starts July 1, 2022.
Over $1 billion is being used from the American Rescue Act.
