Section 9611 of H.R. 1319 revised and increased the child tax credit in 2021, made it refundable, raised it to $3,000 per child under age 17 and $3,600 for children under age 6, and required Treasury to establish advance payments.

Congress enacted a temporary Child Tax Credit expansion with higher amounts, full refundability, and advance monthly payments in the American Rescue Plan.

Jeffries publicly credited the enacted law with expanding the Child Tax Credit to deliver direct relief to families.

The page states that "The expanded and improved Biden Child Tax Credit has taken effect" and that monthly payments would last until the end of the year, but "we are fighting to make them permanent."

Jeffries' office says the expansion took effect, but also that it was temporary and still needed to be made permanent.

The Congressional Record Index lists Jeffries under taxation matters including a bill to "increase and make child tax credit fully refundable, establish increased child tax credit for young children, index credits for inflation, and set up advance payments on monthly basis (see H.R. 928)."

Jeffries had a concrete legislative record aligned with expanding the Child Tax Credit before the 2021 enactment.
