(Training) Becoming a CTC Navigator and Non-filer & CTC Update Portals Walk-through

The 2021 Child Tax Credit (CTC) expansion provides a historic opportunity to reduce child poverty in the United States by more than 40 percent.

Your efforts to help people get advance CTC payments are essential. Many people will need help to understand their eligibility and to use GetCTC.org. At the time of the first training, GetCTC, a mobile-friendly way to sign up for the CTC, had not yet launched. GetCTC.org, created in partnership with the White House and U.S. Department of Treasury, is available until November 15 and is our recommended tool.

Navigators are trusted, community-based guides that help marginalized people get their payments. They can answer questions, help people sign up for advance CTC payments, provide space and technology, or help address other barriers can include helping with email address, bank accounts, or providing mailing address to use.
