OBBB’s cuts to food assistance through SNAP will affect all of the 40 million-plus people the program benefits, 16 million of them children. What it’s all for? To pay, in part, for tax cuts highly skewed to the wealthy. Credit: Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

Congress increased the maximum federal CTC by $200, but eligibility for the CTC got harder. Under new rules, less families qualify for the full credit because their income isn't high enough. We're grateful Maryland's CTC helps those who need it most. Visit marylandtaxcredits.gov/EarnedIt

TPC Estimates Confirm The Expanded Child Care Credit Continues To Leave Out Low-Income Families
On paper, low-income families can offset more of their taxes, but the child care credit remains nonrefundable, so almost no low-income families can actually benefit.

Fourteen years ago today, in the midst of one of our country’s worst economic crises, Americans saw the last federal minimum wage increase. Since then, we’ve experienced another recession and inflation, housing and consumer prices that continue to rise, far outpacing the minimum wage.

99,000 MDers left $ on the table! Eligible taxpayers get an avg of $1,100 for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)+ $500/kid for the Child Tax Credit (CTC). We applaud @brookelierman.bsky.social for her work to ensure ALL eligible MDers get these needed credits! Read more in @marylandmatters.org

The MAGA Republican budget plan will make healthcare + groceries more expensive for us by slashing $ for Medicaid and food assistance to finance more tax breaks for the very rich + big corporations. This bill, along with Trump's tariffs, will make things even worse for us. This can't happen!

The Senate GOP Reconciliation Bill = HUGE tax breaks for the wealthiest Marylanders, and very little for the rest of us. Check out the chart below ⬇️

Strong families deserve strong support. On International Day of Families, we’re celebrating the resources that help families thrive, like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). 💵 The EITC puts real money back into the hands of working families: helping with groceries, rent, child care, and more.

As this piece explains, the CTC expansion the House Ways & Means Cmte proposes would provide no CTC increase to millions of kids in low-income working families, with families in the bottom 20% by income getting just 2% of the new CTC benefits and families in top 20% getting nearly 10 times as much

House Republicans have proposed the largest SNAP cut in history. These funding cuts will not root out waste or fraud as they claim, but they will take away food from hungry families in need.

The House Republican SNAP Cuts Would Take Food From Hungry Families
The U.S. House Agriculture Committee’s budget proposal would cut assistance for all SNAP recipients—not “waste, fraud, and abuse.”

Despite the pro-family talk, the Republican proposal for the Child Tax Credit does NOTHING for 17 million working families and even strips eligibility from another 4.5 million kids. Disgraceful.

House W&M bill does nothing for the ~17M kids currently left out of the $2,000 max credit b/c their families’ earnings are too low. Temp. raising the max to $2,500 gives them $0 or zilch, but delivers an additional $500-per-kid to higher-income families. www.cbpp.org/blog/policym...

Tax credits are a proven way to support working families. That's why we are continuing to work with @mdfamilycredits.bsky.social to strengthen Maryland's #EITC to reach young workers, first-time parents, veterans, and others who are too often left out of the credit today.

The Fair Share for Maryland Act of 2025 legislation helps address the state's budget crisis by closing corporate tax loopholes and ensuring the wealthiest Marylanders are paying their fair share in taxes. It also provides tax breaks for working families by expanding tax credits.
