Then you should attend the EITC Coalition Conference in Harrisburg on October 24 and 25, 2006. This day and a half conference will bring together novice and experience program and resource experts to learn from each other and formulate strategies to expand participation by eligible Pennsylvanians in the EITC Program.

EITC brings millions of dollars back to low wage Pennsylvania families and contributes to our communities economic stability. It is estimated that up to 10% of eligible low income families lose out on getting an average of $1,700 (up to $3,600) back every year. The IRS, in partnership with local community groups, works to increase outreach efforts about the program in order to help more people file for EITC money. Join us to receive the latest information on best practices, resources and new efforts to help low income families.
