Bill overview
The End Child Poverty Act proposes establishing a universal child assistance program, managed by a new Office of Universal Child Assistance within the Social Security Administration. This program would provide monthly payments to qualifying children under 19, calculated as 1/12th of the difference between the two-person poverty guideline and the single individual poverty guideline. The bill also includes provisions to terminate the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, and introduces new refundable tax credits for adult dependents and families. These changes aim to provide a more comprehensive approach to addressing child poverty.
