BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It…
This week at CBPP, we focused on federal taxes, family income support, health, state budgets and taxes, and the economy.
-
On federal taxes, Jabari Cook, Luis Nuñez, and Sarah Calame highlighted two ways to expand the Child Tax Credit in an effort to reach more Hispanic families; we also released a Spanish-language version.
-
On family income support, Diana Azevedo-McCaffrey explained how states should use new guidance to stop charging parents for foster care and prioritize family reunification.
-
On health, Claire Heyison pointed out that more families will spend less on health care premiums thanks to a fix for the “family glitch.”
-
On state budgets and taxes, Iris Hinh, Ariana Hammersmith, and Samantha Wing described how states are using Fiscal Recovery Funds to promote income security.
-
On the economy, we updated our backgrounder tracking the recovery from the pandemic recession. We also updated our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are currently available.
