Earned Income Tax Credit for Working Families
|
|
The Piton Foundation considers tax credits, especially the federal Earned Income Tax Credit an important tool for increasing the economic self-sufficiency of lower-wage workers. Research shows that the EITC lifted 4.4 million U.S. families out of poverty in 2003. The EITC has been found to produce substantial increases in employment and reductions in welfare among single parents.

Low Cost Health Insurance Program for Children and Pregnant Women
Many children (age 18 and younger) in working and middle-class families qualify for this low-cost health insurance program, which is also available for pregnant women. If a family qualifies, the most they would pay is a $25 premium per year for one child ($35 per year for more than one) and a co-pay of $0 to $5 per doctor visit.
Eligibility is determined after child care and elder care costs, medical and dental expenses, child support, alimony, and health insurance premiums are deducted from the families' monthly income. Once enrolled, the insurance is valid for an entire year--even if the family's income increases.
If you know a child or pregnant woman who does not have health insurance please call Karen Niebrugge at 303.449.0177 x.8. |
