Hi John, I wrote to you last month about tax cut payments for families and wanted to give an update.
August payments are out the door, and many are already in bank accounts by now. Up to $300 per child per month is a transformational change, and something we only enjoy because Democrats in control of government fought for it.
These crucial tax cuts are already having a substantial impact. Food insecurity for children has dropped to the lowest levels since the pandemic began, and difficulty paying for household expenses has lowered as well.
The tax cut payments are expected to cut child poverty almost in half this year.
These monthly payments are set to end in December, but they don’t have to. President Biden has already indicated he supports making these payments permanent, and we can do it if Democrats keep control.
