(CNN)President Joe Biden informed House progressives Tuesday afternoon that the final bill to expand the social safety net is expected to drop tuition-free community college, a major White House priority, according to multiple sources familiar with the mater.

       Moreover, he indicated that the child tax credit -- a key Democratic priority -- would likely be extended for one additional year, much shorter than what many in their party wanted, one of the sources said. The child tax credit will also likely be means tested, keeping with what West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin had wanted.

       Biden also indicated to the group that they would reduce the proposed funding for so-called homecare for the elderly and disabled -- down to less than $250 billion, sources said. Democrats had wanted to keep the funding at $400 billion.

       The President said they plan to keep an expansion of Medicare, which includes hearing, dental and vision -- in line with what the progressives want.

       California Rep. Ro Khanna also told CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" on Tuesday that Biden planned to provide "community college scholarships" in the package. Khanna indicated that the President wanted to keep universal pre-K, along with about $300 billion in investments to help combat climate change.

       Biden had called for making two years of community college free -- a long-time priority for many Democrats. Some progressives -- like Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats -- have pushed for even more, calling for making tuition free at public, four-year colleges .

       The President has highlighted the free college proposal in speeches across the country for months, telling one audience in July he was "insisting that we have universal pre-kindergarten (and) two years of free community college."

       Biden, however, indicated the provision could be cut from the final plan late last week.

       Speaking about his social safety net proposal at a child care center in Connecticut on Friday, the President said, "I don't know that I can get it done, but I also have proposed free community college, like you've done here in the state of Connecticut, to help students from lower-income families attend community college (and) four-year schools."

       Former President Barack Obama proposed making community college free back in 2015, but it never happened on a federal level. Many blue and red states, as well as cities, have enacted some version of a law law making tuition free, but enacting the program at a federal level could have provided a much-needed jolt for two-year colleges, which saw a huge drop in enrollment during the coronavirus pandemic.

       Debate over climate change within the final bill has not yet been settled -- since progressives want to go much further and Manchin has resisted those plans.

       Democrats are debating what they should include after Manchin said he would oppose an electricity standard to force utilities to use cleaner-burning fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% over the next decade.
