(Reinicke C, 2021)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the Child Tax Credit program?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Child Tax program is a part of the American Rescue Plan that offers financial aid to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/family-and-childrensrights\/\">families<\/a> with low income. Households with children, who are no more than seventeen years old, get a monthly allowance that ranges from $250 to $300. In order to qualify for the payment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/family-and-childrensrights\/\">families<\/a> should fill out the tax return forms, and automatically receive the funds. Even if they don\u2019t make enough money to file for taxes, they are still eligible to apply for the tax credit program. (The White House, n.d.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government has enabled an easy sign-up process for all working <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/family-and-childrensrights\/\">families<\/a> that have no means to take care of their children. Single parents who make less than $112,500 and low-income families can easily qualify for the tax credit. That means that parents used to receive $2000 per child in the past, before the amount has been increased in 2021. According to the government, this yearly sum of $3600 significantly helps reduce poverty and improve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/life\/\">children\u2019s lives<\/a>. (The White House, n.d.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Child Tax Credit in 2022<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, The Child Tax Credit program introduced a myriad of changes to help support children not only in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/united-states-of-america\/#:~:text=More%2520than%25208%2520million%2520children,to%2520quality%2520health%2520care%2520services.\">United States<\/a> but also in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/americas\/\">Puerto Rico<\/a>. Parents were able to claim financial aid for children until the age of seventeen, as the government also expanded the range of ages. Apart from increasing the maximum amount from $2000 to $3600, they have also made it fully refundable. Low-income families also received advance payments to help them bring up their children. (U.S. Department of the Treasury, n.d.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly for all the families in need, Congress failed to extend the act, and instead of the increased amount, parents and guardians had to settle for $2000 in these difficult times of soaring inflation. As only the children below the age of sixteen were eligible to receive the funds, it again left <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/family-and-childrensrights\/\">families<\/a> with one-year older teenagers in despair.

More than 2 million immigrant children and 1.6 million American children depend on this money for bare survival. (Center for Immigration Studies, 2021)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a strong need to end <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/poor-children\/\">child poverty<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/united-states-of-america\/\">United States<\/a> and enhance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/child-rights\/#:~:text=Children's%2520rights%2520are%2520civil%2520and,the%2520right%2520to%2520health,%2520etc.\">children\u2019s rights<\/a>. Most of these children are American citizens who lose a fair advantage of living a happy childhood.

(Migration Policy Institute, 2019)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/convention\/\">Convention on the Rights of the Child<\/a> from 1989, it is clearly stated that, \u201cState Parties recognize the right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standards of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/fundamental-rights-2\/health\/#:~:text=The%2520principal%2520characteristics%2520of%2520the,potable%2520water%2520and%2520adequate%2520hygiene.\">health<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/right-to-education\/\">education<\/a>.\u201d (UNICEF, 1990) This is precisely why the government should find a way to include marginalized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/family-and-childrensrights\/\">families<\/a> with underprivileged children in the Child Tax Credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can cancelling the Child Tax Credit push 10 million children back into poverty?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The changes made in 2021 enabled parents without income to support their children. However, one year later, 65 million kids in the country are in for a rough time, once again. It is estimated that 27 million children, mostly of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/africa\/\">African<\/a>-American and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/americas\/\">South American<\/a> origin, will lose access to financial funds, as the government has failed to extend the act. (Reinicke C, 2021)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the last year\u2019s survey, children had access to better food, and parents had more time to work. Consequently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/poor-children\/\">child poverty<\/a>, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/food-undernourishment-malnutrition\/\">child undernourishment and malnutrition<\/a> was reduced by 8.4%. Some families reported losing thousands of dollars of child care credits in 2022. (Reinicke C, 2021) Although some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/family-and-childrensrights\/\">families<\/a> still qualify for the program, this is still a step backwards for the children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Helping children realize their <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/right-to-education\/\"><strong>rights to education<\/strong><\/a><strong>, safety, and <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/protection\/\"><strong>protection<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are close to 12 million deprived children in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/united-states-of-america\/\">United States<\/a>.

As the number of poverty-stricken households increases, governmental bodies should put in place more effective policies that include all parts of society. Once the children gain access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/food\/#:~:text=The%2520right%2520to%2520meals%2520and,which%2520human%2520beings%2520cannot%2520survive.\">food<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/right-to-education\/\">education<\/a>, the parents will be able to focus on work and improve living conditions.
