Webinar: Impacts of the Expanded Child Tax Credit on Families

Wednesday, February 2

11:00 am–12:00 pm PT / 2:00–3:00 pm ET

Please join our partners for a webinar on the impacts of the expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC) on households with children. Three teams will share data on the effects of the monthly CTC payments from July to December 2021, including results from the survey that CLASP helped design. These data shed light on the demographics of eligible families and those who received the payments, showing that the CTC reduced food hardship and financial stress.

Speakers:

• Amy Matsui, JD, Director of Income Security and Senior Counsel, National Women’s Law Center
• Elizabeth Ananat, PhD, Mallya Chair in Women and Economics at Barnard College, Columbia University
• Philip Fisher, PhD, Director of the Center for Translational Neuroscience, University of Oregon and Director of RAPID-EC Survey
