New paper from Kris Cox (@krisycox.bsky.social on Bsky) and me on the 19M kids in lower-inc fams left out of the full $2,200 #ChildTaxCredit under the 2025 Repub reconciliation law. That’s more than 1 in 4 kids <17, most of whom are in working families. cbpp.org/research/federal-ta…
The CTC is a proven tool to strengthen economic security. Lawmakers should make the full CTC available to kids in lower-inc families, like they did in 2021. The recent American Family Act bill does this and further expands the CTC.
Policymakers should give the 19M kids the full credit. If that’s not possible in the near future, a bipartisan approach from 2 yrs ago would make solid progress toward that goal, expanding the credit for the vast majority of kids left out. cbpp.org/research/federal-ta…
