Governor Hochul met with new moms and families to highlight new affordability initiatives that will put thousands of dollars back in the pockets of families across New York. Starting in January, families statewide can start filing for up to $1,000 per child under the Governor’s historic expansion of New York’s child tax credit, which will benefit more than 1.6 million families. Additionally, the Governor launched New York’s new “Birth Allowance for Beginning Year” (BABY) Benefit, a nation-leading initiative to provide $1,800 to thousands of eligible families across New York upon the birth of a new baby, providing additional support to vulnerable households.
