A recent effort, which started to be implemented in late August, enables eligible Connecticut families to get a tax credit of up to $250 per child, up to a limit of three children.
An income-based program called the Empire Child Tax Credit helps eligible families in New York. Families that are eligible for this benefit must have kids that are at least four years old and below the age of 17. The funds would be made to parents by the October end.

The expanded tax credit wasn’t revived despite the good it accomplished, and the final monthly payments were made in December reports Sun.
