As we approach the tax filing deadline, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is asking citizens to urge the Senate to advance an improved Child Tax Credit that prioritizes the poorest children, so its benefits can be targeted to those who need them most.

While the USCCB has long supported the CTC, the current credit must be improved because it excludes many of the poorest children.
