Corporate Voices for Working Families Endorses Proposed Legislation to Expand EITC Education

From PR Newswire:

Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) proposed legislation today to educate employees about the availability of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

Corporate Voices for Working Families, a nonprofit corporate membership organization in Washington, D.C., endorses this proposed legislation and views it as an extension of its ongoing work to help low-wage employees take advantage of a host of federal benefits available to them.

"Corporate Voices for Working Families has launched an aggressive campaign to assist companies in educating working families about the Earned Income Tax Credit and we welcome this legislation as an important step in educating employees about the Earned Income Tax Credit," Donna Klein, president and CEO of Corporate Voices for Working Families, said.

For the past five years, Corporate Voices for Working Families has printed and distributed an Employer Guide: Educate Your Employees About the Benefits They've Earned.

The guide provides detailed information about the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, SCHIP and other federal and state supports.

Program (SCHIP), Food Stamps, Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) centers.

-- Corporate best practices on how to best use the Employer Guide to help employees access these programs.

-- Calendar of important dates to remember when filing for these benefits.

-- Facts on the "Stored Value Card," often referred to as the pre-paid debit card.

About Corporate Voices for Working Families: Corporate Voices for Working Families is the leading national business membership organization representing the private and public sectors on public policy issues involving working families.
