Montana Advocates Rally Behind Child Tax Credit Boost in HR 7024 Proposal
Nathan Stahley Highlights Child Tax Credit Expansion
According to PNS – supporters of expanding the Child Tax Credit are urging Washington lawmakers to increase it, arguing it would greatly benefit Montana families. The proposed legislation, HR 7024, seeks to raise the credit from $1,600 to $1,800 initially, followed by an additional $100 increment the following year.
Nathan Stahley of Montana’s National Association of Social Workers emphasizes its potential to expand the child tax credit, particularly for the 16,000 young children in the state potentially lifting families out of poverty.
Will Expansion of Child Tax Credit Ensure Continued Support for Struggling Families and Access to Essential Services?
The bipartisan-supported bill has passed the U.S. House and now awaits Senate deliberation. Advocates stress that beyond financial relief, a permanent expansion could facilitate access to essential services like healthcare for struggling families. During tough times, families reportedly used the extra funds from the Child Tax Credit to catch up on rent as per Children’s Health Watch data. As discussions unfold the focus remains on whether this credit will continue to aid families in need and provide crucial support.
