Wisconsin taxpayers can apply online starting Tuesday for a $100 per-child tax rebate. The rebate can be claimed through a newly launched state website childtaxrebate.wi.gov. The site has
information about who is eligible for the money, what information is needed to apply and how to submit a claim. The period to seek the rebate is open from Tuesday through July 2. STAY

approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature earlier this year. It will return an estimated $122 million to qualified taxpayers by Sept. 1, a couple months before Walker is on the
ballot for re-election. Democrats have assailed the rebate, and a five-day sales tax holiday in August, as nothing more than election-year bribes. Rebates will be made either through direct
deposit or a mailed check. _© Copyright 2025 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed._
