“Relief bill could lift millions of kids out of poverty by expanding tax credit.”

Katherine Michelmore, assistant professor of public administration in the Maxwell School, was quoted in the Marketplace article “Relief bill could lift millions of kids out of poverty by expanding tax credit.” Michelmore, who studies family policy and labor economics, says that the new tax credit expansion will help a variety of people moving forward. “The kids who don’t receive the full credit right now are predominantly kids who are lower income, many who are living in poverty, and many who are either Black or Latino,” says Michelmore.
