BOSTON – Qualifying families across Massachusetts are set to receive federal child tax credits as a part of President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan.
Attorney General Maura Healey (D) is reminding residents that those credits are exempt from being seized.
Healey stated that any collection of those tax credits, designed to help families in need get by, would violate debt collection regulations. State law forbids debt collectors from seizing certain assets used for food, housing, and other basic needs.
The tax credits were issued as a part of Biden’s stimulus package signed back in March.
