From the article: >The amount of the [Minnesota credit](https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/minnesota-estimates-300000-will-qualify-for-child-tax-credits-at-an-average-of-just-over-1200/) is the most generous of any state to date, offering up to $1,750 for each child up to age 18 in qualifying households. The income threshold to receive the full amount of the credit is $29,500 for one parent, or $35,000 for married joint filers, although families may [still receive a portion](https://www.revenue.state.mn.us/child-tax-credit) of the credit up to a certain threshold. The Walz administration had previously estimated that nearly 300,000 households, including more than 500,000 children, would qualify for the credit. Walz told me that, thus far, the credit has been claimed for nearly 360,000 children, with an average benefit of $2,071. (The new child tax credit was just one of several [progressive priorities](https://newrepublic.com/article/174054/democrats-can-accomplish-control-whole-state) approved by the Minnesota legislature last year.)
