The child tax credit is a lifeline for families across the country. It pays for childcare, puts food on the table, and makes life that much easier for working families.
But because of outdated and discriminatory income thresholds, single parent households often don’t get the support they need.
Katie just introduced the Single Parent Penalty Elimination Act, which will simplify eligibility guidelines for the child tax credit and make sure that single parents have just as much access to this critical lifeline as married parents.
Today, kids in single-parent households often struggle to get the support they need—just because they have one parent instead of two. That's not right.
As a single mom of three, Katie understands the unique challenges that come with being a single parent. She knows that being a single parent isn’t easier or cheaper. And she is committed to eliminating the discriminatory policies that make raising kids on your own that much more difficult.
The Single Parent Penalty Elimination Act will provide kids in single parent households with the same opportunities as everyone else. It’s a bill that’s long overdue—and Katie needs your help to make sure it gets passed.
A child’s ability to succeed shouldn’t depend on their parent’s marital status. Let’s help Katie level the playing field!
