Grace Meng (D-Queens) and Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (D-Fresh Meadows) announced today that November 15 is the last day for families to seek the expanded Child Tax Credit this year. Eligible families who filed taxes in 2019 or 2020 began receiving the monthly payments automatically in July. But those who have not filed a tax return or used the IRS non-filer portal to claim stimulus payments in 2020, must take action by the deadline in order to obtain the money. Click herefor details. The expanded Child Tax Credit is a critical tax cut to help working families as the nation recovers from the COVID-19 crisis. It was established in March by Congressional Democrats and President Biden as part of the American Rescue Plan which is the most recent coronavirus relief package that Meng helped to pass through Congress. It provides advanced monthly payments of up to $300 per month per child through December. The first payments started on July 15. In October, there were an estimated 70,000 payments totaling $29.6 million that were sent to families in Meng's congressional district in Queens, according to the Joint Economic Committee. Approximately 117,000 kids in the Congresswoman's district qualified for the payments. In New York, 3,309,000 children qualified, and households in the state received 2,011,000 payments totaling $838.1 million. "The expanded Child Tax Credit has provided working families with critical relief as we continue our efforts to move past the pandemic," saidCongresswoman Meng. "Many families across the nation and throughout New York, including those in Queens, have benefited from these monthly payments which has put money back in their pockets to help with expenses so they can pay for child care, put food on the table, cover school costs or pay for many other necessities. Eligible families that have not received payments should act before the upcoming November 15 deadline." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z |
