Families will start receiving monthly payments of up to $300 per child this week.
“It’s the most transformative policy coming out of Washington since the days of F.D.R.,” New Jersey Senator Cory Booker. “America is dramatically behind its industrial peers in investing in our children. We have some of the highest child poverty rates, but even families that are not poor are struggling, as the cost of raising children goes higher and higher.
”, there may be some bumps ahead when it comes to the program’s rollout. Some four to eight millions children may be missing from the government’s payment rosters, largely because some people who are eligible for the payments are confused about how to enroll or don’t know about the expanded tax credits at all. And so the challenge right now for Democrats—not one Republican voted for the child tax credit measure—and advocates is spreading the word.
