Hi John,
I’m guessing you heard about the massive bill Congress passed last week.
It includes sweeping changes to family tax credits and food assistance… some key improvements, and some serious setbacks.
Let’s break down the good, the bad and the ugly.
✅ TAX CREDIT WINS
* Permanently boosts the Child Tax Credit to $2,200 which will help families afford the basics.
* Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit will lower the cost of child care expenses.
* New “Children’s Investment Accounts” will provide a one-time $1,000 investment for every child born in the U.S.
Any investment in hardworking families is worth celebrating – especially when advocates like you made it happen.
❌ ROLLING BACK SNAP
* Stricter work requirements will make it harder for parents to qualify for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
* 22.3 million families – including 3.3 million children – will lose some or all of their benefits.
* States will be forced to shoulder more costs, straining already limited budgets.
Restricting access to our nation’s most successful anti-hunger program puts kids’ health, education and futures at risk – and we won’t stand for it.
John, this bill proves what’s possible when we raise our voices together. This time, we moved the needle on tax relief.
Next up is protecting investments in other critical child-focused programs. Tell Congress to invest in kids and invest in America! [[link removed]]
