Young adults need unrestricted cash or a guaranteed income, as they start out in their careers, establish families of their own, explore new opportunities, and take on new responsibilities. Financial security provides young people a solid foundation from which to set goals, build healthy lives, and thrive.

To truly support children, young people, and families to thrive, we need unrestricted cash benefits. An expanded Child Tax Credit gives parents and caregivers the ability to choose how to budget their money, helping with the costs of raising children so that they—and their families—can live the lives they choose. Listen to mom and ABC Coalition member Raegan Selden explain how critically important the CTC was to her family and how bringing it back would be a game changer. https://loom.ly/jESCV5Y #CSSP5for2025 #PolicyPriorities #EconomicJustice #FamilyAutonomy #ChildCare #FamilyNeeds #RacialJustice #LetUsRise #ChildAllowance #CTC #ChildTaxCredit #EconomicEquality #StableFamilies #FoodInsecurity #Parents #Families #Equity #WorkRequirements #TANF #SNAP #CARES4Power

Unrestricted cash allows families to breathe easier—and has the power to change people's lives. Speaking at a CSSP webinar earlier this year, Rep. Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) shared his feelings on how impactful and meaningful a regular, unrestricted cash allowance is for families.

We need unrestricted cash... Because families should be able to to meet their needs and build a strong foundation for their futures. A permanent child allowance could provide that foundation that we, as a society, owe all families. Parents and caregivers understand the value of an unrestricted cash benefit for families with children and see a permanent child allowance as having many of the same benefits of the temporary expansion of the Child Tax Credit in 2021.

We need unrestricted cash... if we want a world in which young people can be successful and happy. Too often traditional policy supports leave young adults out, based on the false assumption that all young people have families with resources to fall back on. We need a guaranteed income for young people—and it should provide meaningful help to young adults and their families trying to meet their basic needs.

We need unrestricted cash... because work requirements have failed. Research has shown that work requirements don’t actually encourage work. Most public benefits participants are already working or looking for work. The problem is not people’s “work ethic” but that jobs do not pay enough to cover families’ costs or provide the flexibility and basic workplace standards like paid leave that make it possible to combine caregiving responsibilities with paid work. On the other hand, we know that cash assistance DOES work, allowing families to make choices that best suit their needs, and valuing the real work that goes into raising happy, healthy, thriving children.
