(The Center Square) – Tens of thousands of Louisiana households should begin receiving monthly government assistance this week because of the expansion of the federal Child Tax Credit program. The benefit is tied to the American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package signed into law in March. “Did you know that the federal government is sending monthly cash payments to most working-class families starting this month?” the City of New Orleans tweeted. “Even if you don t file taxes, you re still eligible to receive monthly payments of up to $300 a month ($3,600 annually) – straight from the IRS to you!!” New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell retweeted the message, and U.S. Rep. Troy Carter, a Democrat representing nearly all of the city along with parts of Baton Rouge, announced town halls in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and River Parishes to continue spreading the news.
