Greetings!
Our last update was Friday, June 18th. Since then, there are four (4) new COVID-19 cases. Additionally, seven (7) persons were placed in quarantine, and fortunately, there were no fatalities reported.

The vaccine offers a promise of returning to normalcy however until we are all vaccinated, it is important that we get tested if we experience any COVID-19 symptoms. We should continue to wear face masks, limit indoor gatherings, and practice social distancing while in public. New cases have slowed, but we need to stay the course. Let us each do our part to protect our family, friends, and community.
At City Hall, we’re open for business and maintaining essential services while taking steps to safeguard the health of our employees. We encourage you to try and complete your business online as much as possible. If you can’t find what you want online, please give us a call before coming to City Hall, chances are we can get the information to you and save you the trip.
While this crisis lasts, we will share this resource edition of our newsletter every Wednesday. Please stay tuned and share this information with your loved ones and friends.

La vacuna ofrece la promesa de volver a la normalidad, sin embargo, hasta que todos estemos vacunados, es importante que nos hagamos la prueba si experimentamos algún síntoma de COVID-19. Debemos seguir usando máscaras faciales, limitar las reuniones en interiores y practicar el distanciamiento social en público. Los casos nuevos se han ralentizado, pero debemos mantener el rumbo. Hagamos cada uno su parte para proteger a nuestra familia, amigos y comunidad.
En el ayuntamiento estamos abiertos y mantenemos los servicios esenciales mientras tomamos medidas para salvaguardar la salud de nuestros empleados. Le recomendamos que intente completar su negocio en línea tanto como sea posible. Si no puede encontrar lo que busca en línea, por favor llámenos antes de venir al Ayuntamiento, lo más probable es que podamos entregarle la información y ahorrarle el viaje.
Mientras dure esta crisis, compartiremos esta edición de recursos de nuestro boletín todos los miércoles. Estén atentos y compartan esta información con sus seres queridos y amigos.
Manténgase a salvo y que Dios continúe bendiciéndole.
Creando Un Plainfield. Un Futuro.

Governor Murphy: Coronavirus Briefing | June 21st |
|
Important Highlight of Briefing - A reminder, the child tax credit available to many middle class and working families under the American Rescue Plan has been extended. This is major tax relief. For more information about the tax credit and to make sure you are enrolled to receive yours, please go to that website, childtaxcredit.gov. If you filed a federal tax return in 2019 or 2020 and already received your federal stimulus check, this expanded child tax credit will begin being distributed to you monthly starting in July. If you did not file a federal return, you need to take action to make sure you get your tax relief.
All working families with incomes of up to $150,000 or if it’s a single parent household, $112,500, are eligible for the expanded child tax credit of up to $3,000 for each child ages 6 to 17 and $3,600 for children under the age of 6. There’s no reason for any family to leave money on the table. This tax credit is here to support you and your family as we recover from the pandemic and move forward. Again, more information is available at that website, childtaxcredit.gov. I encourage everyone to go there.
