This bill allows a child tax credit for an unborn child who is born alive. It also allows the credit upon certification that a mother's pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage (the involuntary death of an unborn child who was carried in the womb for less than 20 weeks) or that the child was stillborn (the involuntary death of an unborn child who was carried in the womb for 20 weeks or more).

This tax credit would be in addition to the existing Child Tax Credit and would be available to pregnant women in the year in which they are expecting the child.

The bill aims to provide financial assistance to pregnant women who may be facing financial difficulties during their pregnancy. By providing this tax credit, the bill seeks to alleviate some of the financial burden that pregnant women may face, such as medical expenses, childcare costs, and other expenses related to pregnancy and childbirth. Overall, the Child Tax Credit for Pregnant Moms Act of 2022 is designed to support pregnant women and their families by providing them with additional financial assistance during a critical time in their lives.
