About 20M lower-income kids in working fams wld be left out of the full $2,500 max credit in 2026. ($2,500 in place 2025-28.) These families’ median income is about $23,000. See state table. More than 15M of these kids wld have fared better under last year’s bipartisan bill.

Exactly. Temporary expansion of the #CTC to give higher-income families an extra $500 per kid, while 17 million kids in working families get nada, $0, nothing.

The vast majority of the 17M kids left out of the $2k credit are in working families. Their parents work important but low-paying jobs and include an estimated 363,000 cashiers, 266,000 home health & personal care aides, and 251,000 cooks, among others.
