Working Families Task Force Act of 2025

This bill creates a national Working Families Task Force to study the biggest challenges families face and suggest ways to raise their standard of living. The task force must include leaders from major federal departments, meet at least once every quarter, and have two-thirds of members present to make decisions. Its job is to research problems, gather input from experts and community groups, and recommend actions the government can take.

The task force will look at costs and barriers that hit families’ budgets, like inflation; access to good jobs with fair pay; affordable child care; key tax credits (Child Tax Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit, and Earned Income Tax Credit); care for seniors; health care costs; affordable housing; education and job training; banking access; healthy food; internet access; cleaner air and water; affordable energy; reliable transportation; and the effects of federal staffing cuts. It will also study how big factors like unemployment and inflation affect families, review current federal programs, and propose new policies. A public report with findings and recommendations is due within 180 days.

• Who is affected: Working families nationwide; federal agencies coordinating on solutions.
• What changes: Creates a cross-agency task force that studies challenges and recommends policy fixes; the report will be posted online.
• When: Task force created within 90 days of the law taking effect; first report due within 180 days.
