When you filed your 2023 tax return and were eligible for the child tax credit, the credit will be included in your federal tax refund or it will reduce the amount of federal taxes owed.
The child tax credit is not a separate refund.
The Child Tax Credit is calculated as part of your tax return, it is not paid separately to you. If you claimed a dependent on your return, assuming you qualified to claim them and the credit, it was included as part of your tax return/refund. This article is a good resource for the requirements to claim the Child Tax Credit: 2023 and 2024 Child Tax Credit: Top 7 Requirements
Based on how you fill out your W-4 withholding statement, you can get the credit "early" by withholding less taxes in each paycheck (assuming your employment is a W-2 job). Some may choose to do this, but it will result in a lower refund or possibly in a balance due when your tax return is prepared.
