Dear Friend,

Beginning July 15th, most families with children will automatically receive monthly Child Tax Credit payments of up to $300 per child through the end of 2021.

I helped pass the American Rescue Plan, which includes this targeted relief for families. It will help hardworking families pay for child care, transportation, and food. In NW Oregon, about 151,900 children and families will benefit. The average family will receive $2,600 this year.

Most families should start receiving their monthly payments automatically beginning July 15th with no further action required.

If you did not file a tax return for 2019 or 2020, and did not use the IRS Non-filers tool last year to sign up for the Economic Impact Payments, go online today to sign up for your Child Tax Credit Payments. You can use the IRS Child Tax Credit Non-filer Sign-up Tool. Learn more at ChildTaxCredit.gov.

The Child Tax Credit will lift thousands of children out of poverty in Oregon, and millions across the country. This will have long-lasting beneficial effects for families and kids.

And as a mom and a daughter, I know the value of caregiving firsthand. I’m excited to work with President Biden to invest in families and support caregivers as Congress considers the American Families Plan. This plan includes an extension of the enhanced Child Tax Credit, as well as universal access to pre-school for all three- and four-year-olds. As a leader on the Education and Labor Committee, I’ll continue working to make the expansion of the Child Tax Credit permanent and invest in working families and communities.

I’ll be talking about these efforts and more during a telephone town hall meeting tomorrow, Tuesday June 22, at 6 p.m. Join me to learn more about the work I’m doing on behalf of Oregonians. You can sign up here.

Best wishes to you and your family,

 

Sincerely,
