This New Federal Program Is Expected To Help Hundreds Of Thousands Of Hawaii Kids…Hawaii’s high cost of living means many families need the money, but it won’t go as far here as in many other states, advocates say.
President Joe Biden’s expanded federal child tax credit has the potential to help 278,000 children in Hawaii who could receive monthly payments of at least $250 throughout the last half of this year.
Starting in July, most families with children who have filed taxes and earn below a certain income threshold will start receiving monthly deposits in their bank accounts.
Families will receive $250 per month per child between the ages of 6 and 17, and $300 per month per child younger than 6 years old until the end of this year.
