POLICY INSIGHT
BEYOND THE NUMBERS

Recently at CBPP, we focused on Social Security, health, food assistance, housing, and the economy.

On Social Security, Kathleen Romig emphasized the key principles for strengthening Social Security in testimony before the Senate Budget Committee.
On health, Jennifer Wagner noted what health advocates, the public, and the press need to know about Medicaid call center data., We also updated our resource tracking states’ unwinding from Medicaid continuous coverage.
On food assistance, Ed Bolen highlighted that about 500,000 adults will soon lose SNAP due to the return of a policy that takes assistance away from people not meeting work-reporting requirements, and that another 750,000 older adults are newly at risk.
On housing, we updated our backgrounder on project-based vouchers.
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 per state.
