WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House sought Monday to raise awareness of the federal government’s new expanded child tax credit, which will start paying out monthly in July to families with children who are 17 years old and younger.

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at a recreation center in Pittsburgh as part of a broader push to promote the program in partnership with churches, schools and other organizations.
“When more families know about how they can get the relief, that is how we will be able to lift our children out of poverty,” Harris said.
The administration has launched the website https://childtaxcredit.gov with details for potential recipients. As part of President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package, eligible families can receive as much as $3,600 for each child under the age of 6. The tax credit will be $3,000 annually per child between the ages of 6 and 17.
The payments are to be made monthly, a first for the program. People can register for the program even if they did not fully file their taxes.
The program is slated to expire after one year, though Biden has proposed extending it through 2025 with the ultimate goal of making it permanent.
Biden continues to work hard for families. Many if not most frum families stand to gain from enhanced child tax credits. But in reality who cares? This is all a distraction! The really hard patriotic work is being done by the GOPQ. Members of the GOPQ have refused to meet or shake hands with capitol police officers who served on Jan 6th because GOPQ knows that in truth they are all commie stooges. GOPQ luminary Paul Gosar asked the really tough questions to the US Forest Service about how they could change the orbit of the earth and moon. Patriotic GOPQ members are hard at work searching for bamboo traces on Arizona ballots and only GOPQ legend Majorie Taylor Greene will truly stop George Soros and Jewish bankers from setting forests alight with space lasers. Only the GOPQ can save our country.
Its a great idea but we can’t afford it. We must find a way to pay for it. And it should not be abused for people to say why work when I am getting paid so much for nothing.
