As President Biden noted in the State of the Union address, the 2021 expansion of the Child Tax Credit was an important tool for reducing child poverty and helping parents make ends meet. The Senate must vote soon on a bill that will benefit almost 16 million children across the country, including approximately 80,000 children in Nebraska.
Email your U.S. Senators today and tell them to act quickly to pass the Child Tax Credit expansion so families can receive the benefits on their taxes as soon as possible.
When you email, let Nebraska Senators Pete Ricketts and Deb Fischer know how the Child Tax Credit has impacted your family or the difference it could make for Nebraskans.
This proposed Child Tax Credit is nowhere near the level of the 2021 expansion, but it is an important step in the right direction, particularly for low-income families with more than one child and working families who temporarily face tough financial times.
Thank you for your ongoing advocacy!
