If you filed tax returns for 2019 or 2020, or if you signed up with the Non-Filer tool last year to receive a stimulus check from the Internal Revenue Service, you will get the monthly federal Child Tax Credit automatically. You do not need to sign up or take any action. If you aren’t already signed up, you can still sign up to get the Child Tax Credit. These payments do not count as income for any family, so signing up won’t affect your eligibility for other federal benefits like SNAP and WIC.

Public health officials with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services advise employers, local health departments, emergency managers and residents to take precautions to protect their employees, constituents, pets and themselves from heat-related illness as temperatures across the state rise.
