The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) helps low-to-moderate income workers and families get a tax break by providing a financial boost for households based on their income and family size.
In this hour-long webinar, Lilly Deerwater, Economic Inequity & Health Program Manager, Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility and Esther K. Chung, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Washington and Seattle Children’s Hospital, will discuss the political landscape of Earned Income Tax Credits, with a focus on the Pacific Northwest. The presenters will also provide ways to take action and connect families with these programs. By the end of the webinar, participants will understand the basics of Earned Income Tax Credits and other cash assistance programs, as well as be able to describe the health outcomes associated with cash assistance programs.
Register today to learn how EITC impacts health outcomes and how you can take action.
