Public Law 119-21 includes Sec. 70104, titled "Extension and enhancement of increased child tax credit," and amends the credit by striking "$2,000" and inserting "$2,200."

A child tax credit expansion/extension was enacted during McDonald Rivet's first House term, but it was a limited increase rather than a full restoration of the expanded 2021-style credit.

IRS guidance says the Child Tax Credit is worth up to $2,200 per qualifying child; the Additional Child Tax Credit is refundable up to $1,700 depending on income; taxpayers must have earned income of at least $2,500 for the ACTC.

Shows the post-enactment credit exists and is larger than the prior $2,000 amount, but remains only partly refundable and income-conditioned, supporting a partial rather than full fulfillment of an expanded CTC promise.
