Democratic U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio wants to expand the Earned Income Tax Credit for low- and middle-income workers.
The bill Brown is co-sponsoring with other Senate Democrats calls for lowering the minimum age to qualify from 25 to 19, and increasing the credit for workers with children.
Brown did not offer an estimate on how much the bill would cost.
