The federal government offers child tax credits to enhance the economic security of low and moderate income families with children. It is estimated that the credit lifts nearly 2 million children out of poverty each year nationwide.
A new bill, which has already passed through the House of Representatives in Washington D.C. and must now make it through the Senate, would expand the existing federal child tax credit and benefit an additional 326,000+ Hoosier children.
