                               RESOLUTION

Supporting the designation of January 31, 2025, as ``Earned Income Tax
                        Credit Awareness Day''.

Whereas the earned income tax credit is a refundable Federal tax credit
        available to low- and moderate-income working families and individuals;
Whereas the earned income tax credit strengthens the rewards of work;
Whereas the earned income tax credit has lifted approximately 8,000,000 people
        out of poverty per year from 2017 to 2021;
Whereas the earned income tax credit provides substantial economic benefit to
        local economies; and
Whereas an estimated 20 percent of eligible workers do not claim the earned
        income tax credit: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of ``Earned Income Tax Credit
        Awareness Day''; and
            (2) calls on Federal, State, and local agencies, community
        organizations, nonprofit organizations, employers, and other
        partners to help increase awareness about certain tax credits
        to ensure that all eligible workers have access to the full
        range of tax credit benefits available to them, including--
                    (A) the earned income tax credit;
                    (B) other refundable tax credits not described in
                subparagraph (A); and
                    (C) free tax filing assistance.
                                 <all>
