Child Tax Credit Expansion
Margo Candelaria
co-director of the Parent Infant Early Childhood Program, and Research Associate Professor, at the University of Maryland School of Social Work Institute for Innovation & Implementation
University of Maryland School of Social Work Institute for Innovation & Implementation
"Some are arguing that increasing or continuing payments to families should have a work requirement attached to it. But that is reverse logic. It is often the extreme stress of poverty that prevents engagement in the workforce. When families are facing unstable housing, lack of transportation, poor health, no childcare or a combination of factors, successful work engagement is less likely. The enhanced child tax credit allows families to buy or maintain a car, afford childcare, and cover other related costs that allow work engagement to be possible. Parents don't need to work to prove they need help. They need help in order to work."
Candelaria can discuss the Child Tax Credit expansion, family poverty and related policy, and providing free tax preparation for low-income families
