“So today for the first time these families have been able to access this aid, unfortunately it is a temporary aid, but it is there.

“It arrives in the form of a check and if you have a bank account it can also arrive directly to your account — in both ways. Everyone can choose their preference, either by transfer or by mail. The requirements are first to file taxes, submit a tax return for the year 2021, you file with your social security number.

“Those who do not have to process that application, as long as they have a child under the age of 17 who has a valid social security number and that they are the legal parents of this minor. If there are multiple children in this household, then the Credit is multiplied by the number of children. Filed Under: Cecibel Henriquez Child Tax Credit
