I will keep fighting to expand the Child Tax Credit through my American Family Act, which would provide monthly payments, more than $6,000 per year for a newborn, more than $3,000 a year for children through age 18, and full refundability.

"My American Family Act would provide more than $6,000 per year for a newborn and more than $3,000 a year to kids through the age of 18, it is paid monthly, and it makes the credit fully refundable..."

DeLauro publicly reaffirmed the same American Family Act claim on April 15, 2026, but this was a statement of advocacy rather than proof of enactment or legislative advancement.

The IRS states the Child Tax Credit is currently worth up to $2,200 per qualifying child, with up to $1,700 refundable through the Additional Child Tax Credit, and the page was last reviewed or updated on June 8, 2026.

Current federal law still provides a standard annual CTC, not the monthly, fully refundable expansion promised in the American Family Act.

DeLauro's official Child Tax Credit issue page says the American Family Act would raise the credit to $3,000 per child age 6-17 and $3,600 per child under 6, pay it monthly, and make it fully refundable.

Her own issue page shows the American Family Act remained a proposal rather than an enacted policy change.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

DeLauro materially pursued the promise by reintroducing the American Family Act in the 119th Congress and continuing to advocate for a monthly, fully refundable expanded Child Tax Credit. But the promised outcome was not delivered: the bill remained only introduced and referred to committee, and current federal law in 2026 still provides a smaller annual Child Tax Credit rather than the monthly, fully refundable structure she described. Under the federal office standard, this is a serious legislative effort that failed to achieve enactment, so it counts as never delivered with effort credit.

never same_term A for effort

DeLauro did make a serious same-term effort: she sponsored H.R.2763, the American Family Act, in the 119th Congress and continued public advocacy for the expanded, monthly, fully refundable Child Tax Credit. However, the bill record shows it was only introduced and referred to the House Ways and Means Committee, with no evidence that the promised expansion was enacted or otherwise implemented. Because the substantive promised outcome was not delivered, but there was clear legislative effort, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
