(Sacramento) â With the passage of House Resolution 77 Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (DâOrange County) and the State Assembly declared February 11-17, 2018 as Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Week in California. The resolution points out the tax credit program is one of the most effective tools to lift working families, and children, out of poverty. âThe EITC helps working Californians bring economic security to their lives, with funds that can go toward repaying debt, building savings, or buying goods and services that support economic growth,â said Assemblywoman Quirk-Silva.
