Parents and students summary of rights, staying in school and questions to ask under the McKinney-Vento Act. Resumen de derechos Know your rights CONOZCA LOS DERECHOS EDUCATIVOS DE SU HIJO La Ley McKinney-Vento define a los niños y jóvenes sin hogar como cualquier estudiante "que carece de una residencia nocturna fija, regular y adecuada". Los estudiantes que cumplen con esta definición tienen los siguientes derechos: Elección de escuela: ¡ Si se muda a una vivienda temporal, sus hijos tienen 3 opciones de escuela! Pueden permanecer en la misma escuela a la que fueron cuando usted tenía una dirección permanente, O permanecer en su escuela más reciente, O transferirse a la escuela donde se hospeda ahora. Esto incluye programas preescolares públicos. Matrícula Inmediata: Puede matricular a sus hijos en la escuela sin los documentos que normalmente se requieren. La escuela debe inscribir a sus hijos dentro de 1 día, incluso sin formularios de vacunación, papeles de tutela, certificados de nacimiento o comprobante de domicilio. Después de que sus hijos estén inscritos, la escuela puede ayudarlo a obtener los registros necesarios. Transporte: si sus hijos permanecen en la misma escuela, pueden obtener transporte gratuito hacia / desde esa escuela. Si se muda de una vivienda temporal a una permanente durante el año escolar, sus hijos seguirán recibiendo transporte durante al menos el resto del año escolar, y tal vez un año más, si es su último año en el edificio. Esto incluye a los estudiantes en edad preescolar. Comidas gratuitas y servicios de Título I: Sus hijos pueden recibir comidas gratis en la escuela. No es necesario que llene ningún formulario sobre las finanzas de su familia. Los estudiantes en viviendas temporales también pueden obtener servicios de Título I, incluidos suministros de emergencia, asesoramiento, tutoría, etc. Ayuda del enlace McKinney-Vento: Cada distrito escolar tiene un enlace McKinney-Vento. El enlace es un miembro del personal que lo ayudará a inscribir a su hijo en la escuela y conectarlo a usted y su familia con los servicios. Si no sabe quién es el enlace de su distrito, siga este enlace o llámenos al 800-388-2014 y le informaremos. <Volver + Encuentra el enlace de tu distrito Obtener recursos> Staying in school PERMANECER EN LA ESCUELA La Ley de Asistencia para Personas sin Hogar McKinney-Vento es una ley federal que protege los derechos educativos de los estudiantes en viviendas temporales.

Some people choose not to file a tax return because they didn't earn enough money to be required to file . Generally, they won't receive a failure to file penalty if they are owed a refund – but they won’t receive their refund either. A refund isn’t the only money people might be missing out on when they don’t file. If they’re eligible for tax credits, like the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit, they’re leaving that money on the table as well. The child tax credit The child tax credit helps families with qualifying children get a tax break. People may be able to claim the credit even if they don't normally file a tax return. Taxpayers qualify for the full amount of the 2021 child tax credit for each qualifying child if they meet all eligibility factors and their annual income isn’t more than: $150,000 if they’re married and filing a joint return, or if they’re filing as a qualifying widow or widower. $112,500 if they’re filing as a head of household. $75,000 if they’re a single filer or are married and filing a separate return. The earned income tax credit The earned income tax credit helps low- to moderate-income workers and families get a tax break. If someone qualifies, they can use the credit to reduce the taxes they owe – and maybe increase their refund. Low- to moderate-income workers with qualifying children may be eligible to claim the earned income tax credit if certain qualifying rules apply to them. People may qualify for the EITC even if they can’t claim children on their tax return. Visit IRS.gov to learn how to claim the EITC without a qualifying child . People who qualify for the EITC, may also qualify for other tax credits, including: Child tax credit and the credit for other dependents Child and dependent care credit Education credits Recovery rebate credit FAFSA The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now open.
