Friend,

Did you receive a new deposit in your bank account from the federal government recently? That might be your expanded Child Tax Credit, an important initiative of President Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act that has the potential to cut child poverty in half – but only if Congress makes it permanent. Today, Maura led a coalition of 23 Attorneys General calling for just that.

Stand with Maura in calling on Congress to make the expanded Child Tax Credit permanent to alleviate childhood poverty.

One in seven children in the country, including right here in Massachusetts, live in poverty, which has long lasting, negative impacts on their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. A permanent, expanded child tax credit would make a meaningful impact in the ability of families to provide for their children, which will benefit us all in the long run.

Maura and her team also put together multilingual flyers with answers to all of the questions you might have about the child tax credit, including who qualifies, how to sign up, and what to do if a debt collector tries to take your money. Check out the flyers here – and then share them with your friends and family to help spread the word.

Thank you,

Team Healey
