Plain-English summary
Stronger Way Act
This bill requires the Department of Labor to establish a program, through grant agreements with state and local government agencies, that provides eligible unemployed or partially-employed individuals with opportunities to work in a transitional job for the purpose of enabling them to gain, through wage-paying jobs, the experience and skills needed to move into regular employment.
The bill also amends the Internal Revenue Code to revise the formula for the earned income tax credit and make the child tax credit fully refundable.
