Timing is running out for Connecticut families to claim their child tax rebate as the July 31 deadline looms.
Eligible families can receive payments of up to $250 per child for up to three children. As of Tuesday, only about half of eligible recipients claimed their rebate, according to the Connecticut Mirror.

In order to be eligible for the rebate, applicants must be residents of Connecticut, must have a child 18 and under on their 2021 federal income tax return, and must hit the required income threshold.
The income threshold is $100,000 or less for people filing their taxes as single or married filing separately and $200,000 or less for couples filing jointly. The program has an online application.
Connecticut lawmakers approved the rebate as part of a pandemic relief scheme. Gov. Ned Lamont has indicated he would like to make the credit a continuing policy in the future.
