DESCRIPTION: As part of the new round of COVID-19 relief legislation, President Biden and Congress are reportedly working on a groundbreaking plan to create a new child benefit that would provide up to $300 per child each month to millions of American families. This program would come close to what is called a "child allowance" in other countries, providing a basic income to families with children. How would this new program work, and what would it mean for American families during a pandemic?\n\nJoin the ACS New York, Austin, Bay Area, Georgia, Los Angeles, Madison, Oregon, San Diego, Washington, D.C., and Western New York Lawyer Chapters along with a panel of policy experts to discuss the ins and outs of this potential new social welfare policy. The panel will explore how this program would work, how it has fared in other countries and contexts, what it could achieve here, and what its prospects are for becoming a reality in the United States.\n\nFeaturing:\nGreg Duncan, Distinguished Professor of Education, The University of California, Irvine\nSamuel Hammond, Director of Poverty and Welfare Policy, The Niskanen Center\nRebecca Vallas, Senior Fellow, The Center for American Progress\nModerated by:\n\nJoel Dodge, Lecturer in Law, Columbia Law School; Co-Chair, ACS New York Lawyer Chapter \nReading Materials:\n\nRachel West, Melissa Boteach & Rebecca Vallas, Harnessing the Child Tax Credit as a Tool to Invest in the Next Generation (Center for American Progress 2015)\nGreg J.
