Eligible Families Can Receive Up to $250 Per Child for a Maximum of Three Children

Gov. Ned Lamont today announced that Connecticut families can soon apply to receive a state tax rebate of up to $250 per child for a maximum of three children as a result of the recently enacted 2022 Connecticut Child Tax Rebate that he signed into law earlier this month.

The application period for this rebate will begin on June 1 and end on July 31, with the rebates going out in late August, just in time for the start of the next school year.

Any Connecticut resident who claimed at least one dependent child under the age of 18 on their 2021 federal income tax return may be eligible.

To receive the maximum rebate of $250 per child (for up to three children), the following income guidelines must be met:

Filer status	Income threshold
Single or married filing separately	$100,000 or less
Head of household	$169,000 or less
Married filing jointly	$200,000 or less

Those who have higher income rates may be eligible to receive a reduced rebate based on their income.

To apply, applicants should visit portal.ct.gov/DRS and click the icon that says, “2022 CT Child Tax Rebate.”

The Department of Revenue Services is in the process of reaching out to more than 300,000 households who may meet eligibility requirements through informational postcards that are being mailed this week.
