The Young Child Tax Credit only applies to families with kids under the age of 6. But California families with kids of all ages need relief now to meet their basic needs. #CALeg: Support #AB397 by @asmmarkgonzalez.bsky.social to support expanding the YCTC age!

👶"The cost of raising a child only begins when the child tax credit ends when children turn six. #AB397 will gradually expand the Young Child Tax Credit over the course of ten years."
TY Asm. Gonzalez for championing long-term tools to fight poverty!

♥️"Growing up in section 8 housing, I’ve watched my mom stretch her food stamps. Having extra income from the child tax credit allows people to put food on the table."
