THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN HAS PROVISIONS TO HELP FAMILIES IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE.YES, I HEAR COMPLAINTS MANY DO NOT WANT TO WORK, AND ARE LOOKING FOR HANDOUTS. THAT MAY BE TRUE FOR A VERY, VERY SMALL GROUP. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST CHILDREN AND SENIORS LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. UNFORTUNATELY MANY IN AMERICA ARE LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. THE PANDEMIC HAS FORCED MANY MORE FAMILIES INTO POVERTY. THIS MALADY EXISTS REGARDLESS OF RACE, AGE AND ETHNICITY. THESE NEEDY FAMILIES AND SENIORS OVER 65 CAN FIND HELP FROM THE TAX CREDIT PROGRAM. THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IS TO FILE YOU PERSONAL INCOME TAX RETURN. THERE IS ALSO FREE HELP FILING YOUR TAX RETURN. AARP HAS PARTNERED WITH THE PROGRAM TO PROVIDE FREE TAX RETURNS. THEY ARE LOCATED IN MOST LOCAL LIBRARIES.
