@ranilynthe issue @Opus 17 is alluding to is that to be eligible for the child tax credit, Baby's social security number must be ISSUED prior to the tax deadline, which is April 15, 2024.
The SSN must be issued by the deadline including extensions to obtain those benefits. That's why the taxpayer needs to obtain an extension before April 15 if the SSN is not available by then.
