A national ELCA-cosponsored webinar to learn about the Child Tax Credit’s historic expansion, find out how families receive their monthly payments and hear from experts on the need to make the expansion permanent.

Gene Sperling, former director of the National Economic Council, is the featured guest speaker. The webinar also will highlight faith leaders and service providers who will share their outreach efforts. In addition, Elisa Minoff from the Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) will walk through the online portal and provide very practical nuts and bolts information about signing people up.

The goal is to equip faith leaders and service providers to sign people up for the newly expanded Child Tax Credit. The expanded checks start going out on July 15, and we want to ensure people get the benefit, especially the millions of people who didn’t file a tax return.
