We the undersigned call on the Virginia General Assembly to stand with working families and strengthen the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

The tax legislation passed during the 2019 legislative session to create the Taxpayer Relief Fund and issue one-time checks to many taxpayers, left out 1.2 million families, including most EITC filers.

The EITC is a proven and effective policy for boosting incomes for working families who are struggling to make ends meet. Almost 600,000 working families across Virginia receive the EITC. A stronger Virginia credit would help families who are paid low wages meet basic needs. We call on lawmakers to use the 2020 session to support working families across our state by enacting a refundable EITC.
