EITC awareness event at SBCC

DSS is a partner in the CalEITC4me campaign to raise awareness of the state and federal Earned Income Tax Credits, which can put thousands of dollars in the pocket of low-income working families. People who qualify can get the check simply by filing their taxes. See this Intercom article for more information.

This year, eligibility for the California EITC has been expanded to include people ages 18-24. Last week, CalEITC officials held a kickoff event at Santa Barbara City College to promote this expansion, joining with representatives of local government, schools, and nonprofits.
