Live Updates: House Voting Expenses

Radical $ 1.9 trillion bill would transform the country’s social safety net, though it will be reduced to about half of its original size amid infighting between the moderate and progressive wings of the party .
It would create a universal preschool program, help families look after their children and send them the enhanced child tax credit for another year. It would also provide enhanced grants on the Affordable Care Act trade until 2025 and offer federal assistance to those who fall below the poverty line.
he would sing nearly $ 570 billion in climate action, trying to fill the affordable housing gap, and providing money for parents to buy food for their children during the summer.
Once passed by the House, the legislation will still have to be approved in the Senate, where Democrats cannot afford to lose a single voice in the reconciliation process.
Here’s more of what’s in the box and what it would do:
Universal Pre-K: The bill would be offers free pre-kindergarten for 3 and 4 year olds. It would expand access to 6 million children per year. Funding would last six years. The provision, along with the child care measure, would cost $ 390 billion, according to the latest White House estimate.
Childcare: The legislation limit child care costs for families with children under 6 to no more than 7% of income for those earning up to 250% of the state’s median income, expanding access to around 20 million children. Funding would last six years. This provision, along with the universal pre-K, would cost $ 390 billion, according to the latest White House estimate.
Paid family and sick leave: Biden also wants to create a federally funded paid family and sick leave program for the millions of Americans who are not already receiving benefits from their employer. He initially asked for 12 weeks of paid leave, which was later reduced to four weeks during negotiations. The latest version of the bill in the House includes four weeks of paid family and sick leave, at an estimated cost of $ 194 billion, but the provision will likely be removed from the legislation once it is passed by the government. Senate. West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin opposes the inclusion of the advantage in this bill and Democrats cannot afford to lose a vote.
Enhanced child tax credit: The strengthened child tax credit – which provides $ 300 per month for each child under age 6 and $ 250 per month for each age 6 to 17 – would be extended until 2022 for more than 35 million families.
Heads of households earning up to $ 112,500 and joint filers earning up to $ 150,000 per year would be eligible for enhanced payments. But, unlike 2021, only those families will receive the funds in monthly installments next year. Eligible parents with higher incomes should claim the credit on their tax return the following year.
The credit would be made permanently repayable so that lower income families continue to qualify. The improvement, which was part of the $ 1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package adopted by Democrats earlier this year, is currently only in place for 2021.
This credit, along with the earned income tax credit, would cost around $ 203 billion, according to the latest White House estimate.
The House bill unveiled in September would have extended the credit until 2025.
Income tax credit: The expanded labor income tax credit would be extended until 2022, helping 17 million low-wage workers without children. The boost, which is also part of the back-up plan, is only in place for this year. It almost triples the maximum credit that childless workers can receive, extends eligibility to more people, lowers the minimum age, and removes the upper age limit. This credit, along with the improved child tax credit, would cost around $ 203 billion, according to the latest White House estimate.
The previous House bill would have extended it permanently.
Home care: Proposal calls for continued improvement in Medicaid coverage for home care services for the elderly and people with disabilities, with the aim of reducing the more than 800,000 people on the state’s Medicaid waiting lists .
