In Case You Missed It . . .

This week and last week at CBPP, we focused on food assistance, health, and the economy.  

• On food assistance, we updated our quick guide to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program eligibility and benefits. (Este contenido está disponible en español.)
• On health, we updated our resource tracking states’ unwinding from Medicaid continuous coverage. 
• On the economy, we updated our backgrounders on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available per state and on the recovery from the pandemic recession.
