Not to be outdone by the Democrats, Republican senator Mitt Romney has proposed the Family Security Act. It would “provide a monthly cash benefit for families, amounting to $350 a month for each young child, and $250 a month for each school-aged child.” It will supposedly cut “child poverty by up to one-third in America.” Parents would be eligible to apply to receive the benefit four months prior to a child’s due date. The maximum monthly payment available to parents would be $1,250 per family. This is accomplished by reducing the benefit by $50 for every $1,000 above the current CTC income phaseout thresholds of $200,000 for single-filers and $400,000 for joint-filers. The monthly payments would be administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA). The benefit would be “paid for” by consolidating “overlapping and often duplicative federal policies into direct support for families” and by eliminating the State and Local Tax Deduction (SALT).
