On the recordJune 24, 2021
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues who worked diligently to pass the advanced child tax credit, which will cut child poverty in half in just one year. We have a responsibility to make this money accessible to every child. While our elder daughter, Emmy, is accounted for, our pandemic baby, Caroline, is not. In my district, the IRS estimates that more than 6,000 children are unaccounted for. My team has worked tirelessly to get relief to our constituents. I encourage our constituents to visit the IRS website to check their eligibility. There is even a tool for nonfilers. The IRS is underfunded, and we need to fix that, but they have done a phenomenal job getting this set up. While our caseworkers are always happy to help, our constituents shouldn't leave money on the table. So, check your eligibility and find out what makes sense for your family. {time} 1030 America Needs to Do the Right Thing
