Enhanced Tax Credit Disbursement: Boost in Working Families Tax Credit
Michigan’s forthcoming initiative entails distributing checks to qualifying households, bridging the disparity between the 6% Working Families Tax Credit in 2022 and the enhanced 30% rate authorized by recent legislation. The state anticipates an average tax refund of $3,150 for the 2022 tax year for these 700,000 families.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer expressed the significant impact of quintupling the Working Families Tax Credit, highlighting the financial relief for families in the state. The accelerated disbursement aims to aid households in meeting various expenses, including bills, sustenance, and educational necessities.
The disbursement of checks is scheduled to commence on February 13, facilitating direct monetary assistance over a five- to six-week period. Eligibility determination and subsequent payments will be handled by the Michigan Department of Treasury, ensuring a streamlined process for beneficiaries.
