Virginia Earned Income Tax Credit (VAEITC) hosted a free Webinar Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008, the first of their new EITC/VIDA Training Series. The training series is designed to improve the capacity of Virginia's Community Action Agencies, Departments of Social Services, and EITC coalitions to help Virginia's low-income working families and individuals build their assets.
The Webinar - Webinar 1 - Making the Link: Virginia's Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Initiatives and Virginia Individual Development Accounts (VIDA) - provided information about the requirements and benefits of the Virginia Individual Development Accounts (VIDA) matched savings program for low-income clients. An overview of the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit was also presented. Presenters informed and encouraged agencies and EITC coalitions to help their low-income clients "make the link" to a VIDA account when they receive their EITC tax refund.
