We will resume our regular bi-weekly schedule when we return.
Tax credits can help families with the costs of child care.
However, they do not help low-income families who have no tax liability, unless they are refundable. Currently, the credit is not refundable. The Administration proposed for the first time in any President's budget to change this situation and to make the DCTC refundable. The Administration has estimated that 2.2 million low-income working families will receive child and adult care assistance through its proposal to make the DCTC refundable. Members of both parties in the House and Senate have introduced bills to increase the DCTC and make it refundable.
