Miami, FL— Today, at approximately 11:00 AM EDT, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and U.S. Representative Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) will hold a roundtable discussion on how the enhanced child tax credit is helping South Florida families.
Since 2014, Rubio has pushed for an enhanced child tax credit to help working and middle-class American families. Standing up to his own party’s leadership during tax reform, Rubio won provisions in the tax bill that doubled the per-child tax credit to $2,000 and increased the refundable portion of the credit to $1,400, which will increase with inflation each year until the full $2,000 applies per child. Rubio’s efforts help more than 90 million families.
As South Florida’s only Member on the Tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, Curbelo played a key role in crafting several family provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
The roundtable will be live-streamed on Facebook Live on Curbelo’s Facebook page. The Members will be holding a media availability after the roundtable. Media interested in attending must RSVP to CurbeloPress@mail.house.gov before 10:00 AM EDT.
