You must have claimed at least one child as a dependent on your 2021 federal income tax return who was 18 years of age or younger; and
You must meet certain income thresholds.
The application period for the 2022 Connecticut Child Tax Rebate is now open. Eligible Connecticut residents can apply to receive a rebate of up to $250 per child for a maximum of three children.
