At the end of title III, add the following:

CHILD POVERTY.

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
reducing child poverty, which may include increasing
refundable tax credits such as the child tax credit and the
earned income tax credit, increasing funding for the
supplemental nutrition assistance program and the temporary
assistance for needy families program, and creating new
programs to increase existing support for children and
families, by the amounts provided in such legislation for
those purposes, provided that such legislation would not
increase the deficit over either the period of the total of
fiscal years 2021 through 2025 or the period of the total of
fiscal years 2021 through 2030.
