On health, Allison Orris and Sarah Lueck explained that the Congressional Republicans’ budget plans are likely to cut health coverage. We also updated our fact sheets that provide information about adults in the coverage gap in each state that hasn’t adopted the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion. On the federal budget, Nick Gwyn identified how the Ways and Means Bill misses the mark on unemployment fraud. On state budgets and taxes, Samantha Waxman and Iris Hinh updated their report on how states can enact or expand child tax credits and earned income tax credits to build equitable, inclusive communities and economies. On food assistance, we updated our guide to SNAP eligibility and benefits. On the economy, we updated our policy basics on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available.
