HR 10282: Stronger Start for Working Families Act

The Stronger Start for Working Families Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to make the child tax credit fully refundable for all eligible taxpayers. By lowering the earned income threshold from $3,000 to $1, the bill removes the requirement that families must have a minimum level of earnings to receive the full credit amount. This change directly affects working families with children who previously had their refundable credit capped based on their income. The provision is scheduled to take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

HR 9993: Rise Up for Child Care Act of 2026

The Rise Up for Child Care Act of 2026 expands federal child care funding to guarantee services for current and former recipients of public assistance programs, removing previous restrictions on how states must use these funds. It eliminates state-imposed spending caps and changes the funding structure to an open-ended entitlement, allowing states to request unlimited sums to support child care needs. Additionally, the bill creates a separate matching rate of 75 percent for states that invest in wages and benefits for home-based child care providers and funds a study to evaluate the impact of these changes.
