Support a permanent child tax credit and an increased tax credit for families with a newborn baby
Support a permanent child tax credit and an increased tax credit for families with a newborn baby.
Occurrences
Evidence
"To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to establish a refundable child tax credit with monthly advance payment." ... "Ms. Crockett" is listed among the Members who introduced the bill. The text sets the monthly specified child allowance at "$300" per child age 6+ and "120 percent" of that amount for children under 6, with "800 percent" for children under 1 month.
The legislation is co-sponsored by Congressmembers Nikki Budzinski, Jasmine Crockett, Chris Deluzio, Robert Garcia, Val Hoyle, Kevin Mullin, Wiley Nickel, Donald Norcross, Donald Payne, Jr., Andrea Salinas, and Jill Tokuda. The task force would develop recommendations to "revise tax policies such as the child tax credit and earned income tax credit, that assist children and families."
Assessments
Crockett supported and helped introduce legislation directly matching the promise: a refundable, monthly child tax credit with larger amounts for very young children/newborns. However, the evidence shows the relevant bill was introduced but not enacted, and there is no evidence that a permanent child tax credit or newborn increase became federal law. Because she made a serious legislative attempt but the promised policy was not delivered, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
