A

Anointing submitting chapter 19, 4 000, entitled income inequality, initiative, earned income tax credit by requiring employers to provide notification to workers regarding the availability of certain additional federal and city tax benefit programs and extending the department of revenues, notification and reporting requirements. Such additional tax benefit programs.

B

Thank you, chair recognizes councilman don.

C

Oh, thank you, council president. I want to thank my co-sponsors for this bill. Council members brooks thomas greene johnson, gilmore richardson gim go ta all who co-sponsored this bill. Thank you for your support and you know. As you know, council president you've been a big advocate for this there's over a billion dollars right now of federal money in eitc credits, child tax credits, and now we have city wage tax refunds also that are available for 75 000 families in our city and about 300 000 residents.

C

When you think about it, it's over three thousand dollars per person, potentially in federal city and local tax benefits. Now we passed the bill a few years ago requiring employers to mock to notify their employees about the earned income tax credit.

C

This bill expands the notification to not only eitc but child tax credit and wage tax refunds, but we also added to this bill that all third party payroll service companies like adp, like paychecks and others, will also be required to notify the employees of the checks that they provide about the earned income, tax, credit, child tax, credit, wage tax, credit and other federal and city tax benefit. Programs for these companies will be a tremendous benefit.

C

I believe in helping us get the word out, but I also think it's a great benefit for the payroll service companies to offer this service. You know our goal is to try to improve where we are today and get this one billion dollars into the hands of philadelphians, and I'm hoping this will help. So I want to thank everyone for their support. uh Thank you. Council president.
