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...
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.

Assessments
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.
