Do i have to make a certain amount to get the child tax credit money

[ginabeal115]

This past year I only made right at 500 dollars because I started my job in December. When I filed my taxes I didn't get any money back for my son who lives with me the entire year. Do I have to make a certain amount of money in order to get money back for my son?
