Excerpt from article linked above:

"A new website from University of Michigan Poverty Solutions offers step-by-step assistance for parents to get the expanded federal Child Tax Credit, which is worth up to $3,600 per child per year. ...

"The expanded Child Tax Credit will be paid out monthly rather than annually, with payments from the IRS of $250-$300 per child expected to start in July. In addition, the tax credit does not count as additional income that could affect eligibility for public assistance. 
 
"To receive the credit, parents or guardians still need to file taxes for 2020, the deadline for which has been extended to May 17, 2021. Parents of children under 18 may be eligible to receive the credit even if they have not previously filed taxes and have low or no earnings."
