Biden administration renews effort to get enhanced child tax credit to low-income families
CNN
Low-income parents now have another chance to get the enhanced 2021 child tax credit without filing a full tax return. The Biden administration is relaunching its efforts to reach families whose incomes are so low they don't have to file taxes and to direct them to an online portal where they can submit information needed to claim the credit.

Eligible households can receive up to $3,600 for each child under age 6 and up to $3,000 for each one ages 6 through 17.
The portal, created by the non-profit Code for America in collaboration with the White House and the Treasury Department, reopens Wednesday. The free tool, available at ChildTaxCredit.gov or GetCTC.org, is accessible on desktops and mobile devices and is in English and Spanish.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
