About The Study: This study examined the association of the 2021 expanded child tax credit (CTC) advance payments with child abuse and neglect and found immediate reductions in child abuse and neglect-related emergency department visits in the days following disbursement of the CTC payments. These results are important for discussions of making the temporary expansion of the CTC permanent and are applicable to income support policies more broadly.
