BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It...
This week at CBPP, we focused on state taxes, health, food assistance, and the economy. Note we’ll have minimal to no postings the next two weeks. Have a pleasant August!
- On state taxes, Michael Mazerov emphasized that state taxes have a minimal impact on people’s interstate moves.
- On health, Laura Harker underscored how Arkansas’ failed Medicaid work-reporting requirements should not be a model for other states. We also updated our resource tracking states’ unwinding from Medicaid continuous coverage.
- On food assistance, Joseph Llobrera and Lauren Hall highlighted that SNAP provides critical benefits to workers and their families.
- On the economy, we updated our chart book tracking the recovery from the pandemic recession.
