3: Outreach Campaigns

Operate outreach campaigns to help working poor families receive key benefits for which they are eligible.

Other Information:

Programs designed to reduce poverty among working poor families are less effective if eligible families and individuals do not know the benefits exist or how to apply for them. Accordingly, the Center operates two outreach campaigns to help working poor families receive two key benefits for which they are eligible: low-income tax credits (specifically, the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit) and children’s health insurance through Medicaid or other state child health insurance programs.

Stakeholder(s):

• Working Poor Families


• Earned Income Tax Credit Program


• Child Tax Credit Program


• Medicaid Program


• State Child Health Insurance Programs

Objective(s):

3.1: EITC

3.2: Start Healthy, Stay Healthy Campaign
