L1 visa holder with L2 dependent child, new SSN requirement for child

Hi

 

I do not have a SSN for my L2 dependent child who is 4 years old, when I got my SSN the social security office said they will not issue one for my child.

 

I have read that a ITIN is no longer valid for child tax credit 2021 and the dependent child has to have a SSN - Please can this be confirmed?

 

If this is confirmed then will my child now qualify for a SSN?

 

Thanks

Ahmed
