BUFFALO, N.Y. — New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that those receiving child tax credit payments will receive their checks sometime this week.
More than 1 million families across New York State will be getting a supplemental payment of up to $330 per child through the Empire State Child Credit.
According to the Governor's office, "New York State has officially started issuing approximately $350 million in supplemental payments to low- and moderate-income families statewide through the Empire State Child Credit program. The first round of checks was mailed today and will begin to appear in recipients’ mailboxes this week. Checks will continue to be mailed over the next two weeks, and by the end of this month more than 1 million eligible families will receive up to $330 per child – with no need to apply."
“As New Yorkers get started with back-to-school shopping for their kids, we’re putting some money back in their pockets,” Governor Hochul said. “My team is making sure these supplemental payments reach every eligible New Yorker – and I’m going to keep working every day to address the cost of living for working parents across our state.”
Deliveries will be occurring at a rate of 100,000 checks per day in an effort to ensure that all eligible families receive their payments in a timely manner.
