Applications for the Child Tax Payments are now open!

It is unthinkable that our country and communities continue to mourn the loss of innocent lives - children, elderly, worshipers, shoppers at supermarkets and malls - to senseless mass shootings.

Applications for the Child Tax Payments - that was included as part of a historic $600 million in tax cuts in our 2022 state budget - will open June 1, 2022.

The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) is utilizing numerous options to assist families across the state access baby formula during the nationwide shortage.

This is a transformational opportunity to invest in underserved communities in Connecticut through economic development and small business, education, and infrastructure projects.

Late Monday night, the House passed the State Budget. This historic budget contains $600 million in total tax relief for all of us, including child tax credits, a 100% exemption on retirement income, a cap on car taxes, increases to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and a continued suspension of the gas tax through December.

Today, in the House, we passed a historic bipartisan bill aimed at addressing the immediate, intermediate, and long-term needs of the children's mental and behavioral health system in Connecticut, a priority during the 2022 legislative session.

Connecticut families continue to be impacted by historic inflation, affecting nearly every aspect of daily life. My colleagues and I remain committed to finding ways to put money back into your pockets.
