Connecticut United Ways
2024 ALICE Policy Agenda
Action One: Create a permanent, fully refundable Connecticut child tax credit (CTC).
2024 Legislative Session Update
- General Assembly did not adjust the underlying budget for 2025. As a result, they could not adjust any policies related to taxation or revenue, including establishing a Child Tax Credit.
- Legislators proposed four bills with 47 co-sponsors.
- Advocates sent more than 4,000 supportive messages to elected officials.
- Media published at least 27 news articles.
A permanent CT CTC of $600/child would provide dependable, flexible income to approximately 250,000 CT households and 550,000 children.
