Using state-level data from the Treasury Department on advance Child Tax Credit (CTC) payments, the Joint Economic Committee estimated the number of qualifying children, total number of payments and total payment amount by congressional district in December 2021, when the sixth round of CTC payments was distributed, as well as the cumulative payment amount by congressional district from July through December 2021. To mark six months of advance CTC payments, the JEC released a review of the evidence showing the economic benefits for 61 million children, 36 million families and the overall economy.
