In this busy week for Off the Charts, we focused on the budget plans from the chairs of the House and Senate Budget Committees, food assistance, the safety net, and health reform.
This week, Robert Greenstein previewed the congressional budget plans and issued statements on both the Price and Enzi plans. We posted papers on the impact of “churn” in health and human services programs and the House Budget Committee’s plan to slash SNAP by $125 billion. We updated our paper on SNAP enrollment and the economy, our backgrounder on unemployment compensation, and our reviews of state government SNAP websites and online services for low-income benefit programs.
