Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families and Children’s HealthWatch recently published a health impact assessment to identify the potential health outcomes of creating a state-level EITC in Arkansas. The report states that a refundable EITC “may be one of the most effective ways to address the poor health outcomes experiences by Arkansans.” The authors recommend a state credit at 15 percent of the federal credit, which equates to approximately $392 per household, to maximize potential health benefits to Arkansans with a modest cost to the state.Read more here: Creating a State-Level Refundable Earned Income Tax Credit in Arkansas (Arkansas Advocates for Children & Families and Children’s Health Watch, July 2019)
