CHILD TAX CREDIT DEADLINE IS APPROACHING
DPSS is urging eligible families in L.A. County to take advantage of the IRS’ 2021 Child Tax Credit (CTC) by claiming the benefit by the November 15, 2021 deadline. Most eligible families receive CTC payments automatically, but many who are considered “non-filers” or those who do not normally file income taxes, will need to confirm their eligibility. Families that haven’t filed a tax return for 2019 or 2020 will need to claim their CTC by visiting GetCTC.org

If you are an EBT cardholder and receive a text, call or email asking for your card number, PIN or any personal info, DO NOT provide it. There are reports of an EBT scam and attempts to steal benefits. For any questions regarding your EBT card, please call (877) 328-9677.
