Nadler Seeks to Help Large Families Make Ends Meet

Press Release

Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY-10) announced important new legislation designed to assist large families struggling with the high costs of living. In direct response to the concerns of many of his constituents, Nadler will introduce the Tax Fairness for All Families Act of 2015 next week in order to ease some of the financial burdens that keep large families living in or near poverty. The bill would provide an increasingly larger Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for families with more than 3 children.

"My district has many large families, often living in or near poverty, and many need help with daily expenses so that they don't slip through the cracks," said Nadler. "The burden of balancing work, family and community life -- especially in expensive areas like New York City -- is very challenging. My bill responds directly to the needs and concerns of large families, and would help them pay for basic necessities, like food, rent, transportation, and other costs that families with more children incur."
