Welfare proposal expands tax relief for nine million families
The Carter administration proposed welfare revisions adding expanded earned income tax credits. It would aid about nine million middle income families up to incomes of 21 500 and give two million which would have zero tax liability or refunds. The plan keeps a 10 percent credit up to 4 000 and adds a 5 percent credit on earnings between 4 000 and the welfare cutoff for each family size.
