 To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to establish a refundable 
             child tax credit with monthly advance payment.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``American Family Act''.

SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF REFUNDABLE CHILD TAX CREDIT WITH MONTHLY 
              ADVANCE PAYMENT.

    (a) In General.--Subpart A of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1 
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by inserting after 
section 24 the following new sections:

``SEC. 24A. MONTHLY CHILD TAX CREDIT.

    ``(a) Allowance of Credit.--There shall be allowed as a credit 
against the tax imposed by this chapter for the taxable year the sum of 
the monthly specified child allowances determined with respect to the 
taxpayer under subsection (b) for each calendar month during such 
taxable year.
    ``(b) Monthly Specified Child Allowance.--
            ``(1) In general.--For purposes of this section, the term 
        `monthly specified child allowance' means, with respect to any 
        taxpayer for any calendar month, the sum of--
                    ``(A) $250, with respect to each specified child of 
                such taxpayer who will (as of the close of such month) 
                have attained age 6, plus
                    ``(B) 120 percent of the dollar amount in effect 
                for such month under subparagraph (A), with respect to 
                each specified child of such taxpayer who will not (as 
                of the close of such month) have attained age 6.
        In the case of any specified child of such taxpayer who will 
        not (as of the close of such month) have attained the age of 1 
        month, subparagraph (B) shall be applied by substituting `800 
        percent' for `120 percent'.
            ``(2) Limitations based on modified adjusted gross 
        income.--
                    ``(A) Initial reduction.--The monthly specified 
                child allowance otherwise determined under paragraph 
                (1) with respect to any taxpayer for any calendar month 
                shall be reduced (but not below zero) by \1/12\ of 5 
                percent of the excess (if any) of the taxpayer's 
                modified adjusted gross income for the applicable 
                taxable year over the initial threshold amount in 
                effect for such applicable taxable year.
                    ``(B) Limitation on initial reduction.--In the case 
                of any calendar month beginning before January 1, 2026, 
                the amount of the reduction under subparagraph (A) 
                shall not exceed the lesser of--

                        the secondary threshold amount over the initial 
                        threshold amount.

                calendar month beginning before January 1, 2026, the 
                monthly specified child allowance otherwise determined 
                under paragraph (1) with respect to any taxpayer for 
                such calendar month (determined after the application 
                of subparagraphs (A) and (B)) shall be reduced (but not
