The Senate’s version of President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” would permanently expand the Child Tax Credit (CTC), offering increased tax relief to tens of millions of American families.
Currently under committee review, the legislation would raise the CTC from $2,000 to $2,200 per child and enshrine it permanently in the tax code — replacing the temporary expansion set to expire after 2025.
Unlike the House version, which previously proposed a $2,500 credit, the Senate plan takes a more modest approach while adding a key provision to adjust the credit annually for inflation. According to the bill’s text, starting in 2027, the nonrefundable portion of the CTC would automatically increase with inflation, while the refundable portion would remain unchanged.

“This is designed to help working Americans, people who are getting up every day, going to work, and this gives them some relief,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said in a Fox News interview last week. “And I think that’s what the President was focused on is delivering relief for working class families.”
