Child Tax Credit

While studying the Child Tax Credit the Social Policy Institute researched how the credit has affected employment.

In order to understand the impact of the Child Tax Credit on American families, the Social Policy Institute released a nationally representative survey with a control group of non-eligible families and individuals.

These briefs use data from the Census Household Pulse survey to examine how a representative sample of CTC-eligible families making less than $150,000 a year report using their payments. This survey was administered between July 21 and August 16, covering the period in which the first two CTC payments were deposited in families’ bank account. These fact sheets include key data on CTC receipt, payment usage, and changes in families’ food security after the payments went out.
