Plain-English Summary

The proposal would modify tax rules to allow certain immigrants without legal status to obtain Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers and claim tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit, potentially increasing their tax refunds. This would affect millions of undocumented workers and their families by letting them benefit from tax breaks currently available only to citizens and legal residents. The measure aims to recognize workers' contributions to the economy while generating additional tax revenue for the government.
