Denver, CO – In case you missed it, over the weekend Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet penned an op-ed on the improved Child Tax Credit, highlighting how it will benefit families and how Coloradans can make sure they will receive the benefits they deserve. Payments will begin to reach families on July 15.
“No matter where I go in Colorado, I meet parents who are working incredibly hard — two or three jobs at a time — but struggle to afford housing, health care, early childhood education, higher education, and/or child care,” wrote Bennet in the op-ed. “In March, President Joe Biden signed the American Rescue Plan into law, which included my proposal to significantly expand the Child Tax Credit — essentially offering all low- and middle-income families a tax cut in the form of regular, monthly payments. If you’re a parent, chances are high that you’re eligible to receive this extra income this year — starting in July.”
