In Case You Missed It…

This week at CBPP, we focused on immigration, the federal budget and taxes, state budgets and taxes, and the economy.

On immigration, we released a statement from Shelby Gonzales welcoming the end of the longtime bar on affordable health coverage for people with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
On the federal budget, Richard Kogan explained why House Republicans should stop using the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip to force deeply unpopular and harmful program cuts.
On federal taxes, Samantha Jacoby noted that ahead of Tax Day next week, millions of taxpayers are benefiting from a better-funded IRS that is continuing to rebuild. Roxy Caines also shared five important facts to know about claiming valuable tax credits, filing deadlines, and available resources to help with filing.
On state budgets and taxes, Wesley Tharpe also previewed Tax Day by highlighting how states can wield tax policy for the better or for worse.
On the economy, we updated our chart book tracking the recovery from the pandemic recession and our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available.
