Helping hard-working American families

By U.S. Rep. Mike Johnson

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As American schoolchildren head back into the classroom, the One Big Beautiful Bill will ensure American families are in the best possible position to succeed. 

House Republicans have delivered once-in-a-generation pocketbook relief and educational freedom to American families with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill. The One Big Beautiful Bill slashes taxes for working families, expands school choice, makes it easier to start and support a family, encourages first time homeownership, expands Pell Grants for certificate and license programs, and empowers parents to make decisions that are best for their children.

“At its core, the One Big Beautiful Bill is a distinctly pro-family piece of legislation. It represents a monumental victory for hardworking families across America,” Speaker Johnson said. “Families are of course the foundation of any flourishing society, and Republicans are advancing in this Congress an agenda that values them—just as our principles and policies always have.”

The One Big Beautiful Bill Invests in American Families:

Historic Tax Relief

• Delivers an average 15% tax cut for Americans earning $15,000-$80,000 per year.

• Puts up to $13,000 back into the pockets of the typical American family.

• Increases the Doubled Child Tax Credit to $2,200, providing relief for over 40 million families.

• Permanently raises the Doubled Standard Deduction to $31,500 for American families, a key middle-class benefit to reduce tax burden.

Supporting Educational Freedom

• Gives parents more flexibility to use education savings accounts for the school that best suits their child’s needs.

• Expands eligible expenses for 529 education savings accounts.

• Expands Pell Grant eligibility for students entering a certificate or license program.

More Options for American Families

• Launches Trump Investment Accounts for Newborns, tax-advantaged savings accounts to help families invest in their child’s future from birth.

• Raises the cap on Dependent Care Assistance Plans, providing breathing room to families budgeting for childcare.  

Stronger, Smarter Safety Nets

Implements commonsense work requirements for able-bodied adults receiving Medicaid, strengthening and preserving this vital program for the eligible Americans who truly need and deserve it: pregnant women, single mothers, children, low-income seniors and Americans with disabilities.
