About the 2021 Refundable Child Tax Credit
The Family and Home Network on the Refundable Child Tax Credit (CTC) in the American Rescue Plan: This is an inclusive family policy, available to all families with children. The amount of the credit was raised for 2021; it is $3000 per child ages 6-17; $3600 per child under age 6.
Researchers estimating the costs and benefits of the Refundable Child Tax Credit say: “the benefits created by a child allowance could be worth eight times the annual program cost.”
