Advocates of child tax credit payments say they're outraged after Sen. Manchin said Sunday that he would not vote for President Biden's Build Back Better Act, which includes a one-year extension to the benefits.
The news that Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., will not vote for President Joe Biden's Build Back Better Act dims hopes of immediately extending child tax credit payments, which millions of families have been reliant on since July.received their last checks of 2021 as part of the expanded monthly child tax credit payments. It may be the last check that families receive if the Senate is unable to pass Biden’s $1.7 trillion economic plan.
"Today, Senator Joe Manchin betrayed his prior commitment to support Build Back Better — and to represent moms and families in his state. And we know this is a betrayal for families like yours across the nation, too," the organization said. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., a major proponent of the child tax credit, tweeted Sunday,"We simply cannot double childhood poverty in this country. I will keep fighting to extend the Child Tax Credit to millions of American families."
"I can't vote for and I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can't," Manchin said on"Fox News Sunday.""I've tried everything humanly possible. I can't get there." The American Rescue Plan, enacted in March, expanded the existing child tax credit by $3,000 from $2,000 with a $600 bonus for kids under the age of 6 for the 2021 tax year. The first half was delivered in monthly payments, from July to December, of $300 for children younger than 6 years old and $250 for those aged 6 to 17. The second half will be delivered when families file 2021 tax returns next year.
