HR 2972 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
EITC for Older Workers Act of 2025
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the upper age limit on eligibility for the earned income tax credit.
Summary
This bill amends the tax code to remove the upper age limit for eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Currently, workers must be under age 65 to claim the EITC; this bill repeals that age restriction. The amendment would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. Workers who are age 65 and older would be able to claim the EITC if they meet the other eligibility requirements.
