Senator Manchin Demands an Income Cap For Biden’s Child Tax Credit Program

                                 Senator Manchin Demands an Income Cap For Biden’s Child Tax Credit Program

Manchin also wants the program only to be made available to families with an income of $60,000 or less, a huge reduction on the current earnings cap. Currently, families earning up to $150,000 are eligible for up to $3,600 for each of their children.

Moderate Democrat Senator Joe Manchin will only support Joe Biden’s flagship child tax credits policy if the existing program is made markedly less generous, sources say.

The West Virginia senator says that if the program is to continue into 2022, it must have a firm work requirement to try and deter recipients from using it as their sole means of income.
