Advocates urge Vermonters to claim federal Earned Income Tax Credit

“According to Hunger Free Vermont, every year, one in five people miss out on thousands of dollars in savings and added benefits because they are unaware of EITC and its link to 3SquaresVT.

“There are many Vermont residents who are leaving this hard-earned credit behind,” Anore Horton, executive director of Hunger Free Vermont said in a news release. “This credit could give you more money in your refund and reduce any tax you owe.”

Horton said if you sign up for 3SquaresVT and you have children, the children automatically qualify for free school meals, and help their school keep meals free for all students.”
