Check Your Mailbox – The Next Child Tax Credit Payment Might Be A Paper Check

Another round of Child Tax Credit payments is going out this month – but you’ll want to check the mailbox.

Due to a technical error, the Treasury Department says about 15% of the families that received a payment via direct deposit in July will receive a paper check this month.

The error is expected to be resolved by September.

A total of $15 billion will be paid out in August, to the families of more than 61 million children.

The IRS is distributing the second round of the advance child tax credits to tens of millions of families Friday. https://t.co/ZrxlJZDnud
