The child tax credit does not have anything to do with you or your dependant getting free Medical assistance

I receive child tax credit, am i entitled to free prescription and eye test?
child tax credit is an income tax issue--in reality it means hard working taxpayers like me get to subsidize you for having children.





prescriptions and eye tests have nothing to do with your tax situation. if you can get them free, then i guess that's just another bit of welfare you are getting from the rest of us.
Reply:Child tax credit would have no bearing on receiving any free medical services. If you are eligible for welfare coverage of these, then you might be able to get them.
Reply:You might have gotten more consistent answers by asking this in the UK section, where I suspect this belongs. Several of the USA tax pros have answered this, correctly, based on the situation in the USA and several have also answered it correctly based on the situation in the UK.
Reply:The child tax credit has nothing to do with medical coverage. In fact any tax refund can not be used to determine wither you qualify for a benefit that is based on income.





You will want to check with your local health department, your state health and human services agency, and with the child welfare department for information on available programs.
Reply:I don't think the 2 are related.
Reply:that depends if you are entitled you should have an exception card





we were both working and getting tax credits we are getting free prescriptions and eye tests and things
Reply:Not through the IRS...
Reply:you are not intitled to free perscriptions, dentist treatment, glasses etc if you only get child tax credit. But if you receive working tax credit, you should receive a letter and card giving you exemption. If you live in Scotland, all eye tests are free regardless of income.





Hope this helps
