set the adverse effects of Social Security and Medi-
care payroll taxes on working poor families and to 
encourage low-income workers to seek employment 
rather than welfare. 
(2) President Ronald Reagan described the 
earned income credit as ‘‘the best anti-poverty, the 
best pro-family, the best job-creation measure to 
come out of Congress.’’ 
(3) Over the last 30 years, the EIC program 
has grown into the largest Federal anti-poverty pro-
gram in the United States. In 2005, 22.8 million tax 
filers received $42.4 billion in tax credits through 
the EIC program. 
(4) In 2007, the EIC provided a maximum 
Federal benefit of $4,716 for families with 2 or 
more children, $2,853 for families with a single 
child, and $428 for a taxpayer with no qualifying 
children. 
(5) Based on analysis conducted by the General 
Accountability Office, 25 percent of those eligible to 
receive the EIC do not take advantage of the tax 
benefit.

Economic Committee, working Americans may have
