The purpose of the increased tax credit is to help families survive the rising cost of living.

“I often tell people that March 6, 2021 was the best day of my career. Families of 1,000 children now receive direct tax cuts every month.We know what parents face today: rising childcare costs, medical costs, housing costs everywhere. It looks like we’re under pressure, and this tax cut has given us some relief.”

During the conference, Brown introduced Ohio mother Melissa Lester and shared what expanding CTC means for her and her family.

“Children need clothes and shoes all the time. I spent a lot of money on that. You have to buy clothes at least seasonally, shoes are the same regardless of the season, and even if you’re shopping at places like Target or Walmart, your expenses can add up quickly. I think I was averaging over $100 a month on clothes and shoes when I was a kid.”

Lester went on to explain that resuming expansion of the CTC would provide parents with the money to cover childcare and buy other necessities. She says childcare is her main expense and hopefully helps her children with their future college expenses.

The hearing follows Mr. Brown’s introduction of the Working Family Tax Relief Act, which reduces taxes for workers and families by expanding the child tax credit (CTC) and the earned income tax credit (EITC). was broken EITC and CTC are two of the most effective tools we have to put money into the pockets of working people, help them meet rising costs of living, and lift children out of poverty. Expanding it would give millions more Americans a foothold in the middle class and better reward their parents for their efforts.
