Multiple measures show poverty rates fell in 2024. However, they remain much higher than in 2021 when pandemic relief and the expanded #ChildTaxCredit lifted millions of families out of poverty, underscoring how policy choices shape hardship: www.cbpp.org/blog/analyzi...

Extending the 2017 TCJA #ChildTaxCredit would do little for the estimated 17 million kids, or roughly 1 in 4 of all U.S. children, who don't get the full #CTC due to their families incomes being too low. Meanwhile, families making up to $400k can get the full credit.
