Get cash back for your family this year, with no impact to your WIC benefits!

You can get up to $1,000 per child through the Empire State Child Credit by filing a NYS tax return. If you do not owe taxes because you don’t have income or your income is extremely low; you can get this money as cash back. If you owe taxes, this credit can pay for that and even provide you with additional cash. You can receive this cash back even if you don’t normally file taxes.

Learn more: on.ny.gov/childcredit

Many New York families can receive up to $1,000 per child through New York's recently expanded Empire State Child Credit (ESCC) by filing a New York State income tax return. You can get this money even if you don’t have income, don’t normally file taxes, or haven’t filed taxes for a while. Getting this money will not impact your Medicaid, SNAP, Cash Assistance, SSI, or Housing Assistance benefits.
