Beginning June 1, residents can begin applying for Child Tax Payments that are part of the historic $600 million in tax cuts contained in our 2023 state budget passed by the legislature this month and signed into law by the Governor.

Anyone who is interested in seeking a payment must apply to the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services (DRS) with applications closing on July 31, 2022 - recipients will receive funds beginning in late August.
