US: Expanding child tax credit could lift 4 million children out of poverty: analysis
Hill – June 21, 2021
A permanent expansion of the child tax credit could lift more than 4 million children out of poverty, according to a new report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation. The advocacy group’s annual report, which measures child wellbeing in all 50 states, found that expanding the tax credit would help millions of children whose families were hard hit by the coronavirus recession. About 12 million children in the U.S. live below the poverty line.
