Starting July 15^th, just two days from now, the US Treasury will start sending what it refers to as “advance Child Tax Credit payments” to eligible families on the 15^th of every month.  The maximum amount for each child under age 6 is $300 per month and for each child 6 to 18 is $250 per month.  Families are also still eligible a tax credit of $1800 for children under age 6 and $1500 for children 6 to 18 on their 2021 tax return.

To receive the full credit the taxpayer must have adjusted gross income on their most recent tax return of under $150,000 if filing jointly, under $112,500 if filing as head of household, and under $75,000 if filing as single.

The monthly payments will be automatically deposited or sent on the 15^th of each month.  For individuals who did not file a tax return last year they may sign up if they qualify at:  Child Tax Credit Non-filer Sign-up Tool | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov).  These funds do not as of yet appear to be protected from garnishment in Arizona.
