## Summary

**Increasing awareness of the Earned Income Tax Credit** is the bill's focus. This bill would designate January 31, 2025 as Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day and urge federal, state, and local agencies, community organizations, nonprofits, employers, and other partners to boost outreach. It targets the refundable EITC, other refundable federal tax credits, and free tax filing assistance. The text notes the EITC lifted about 8 million people out of poverty per year from 2017 to 2021 and that roughly 20 percent of eligible workers do not claim the credit.
