BEYOND THE NUMBERS
In Case You Missed It . . .
This week at CBPP, we focused on federal taxes and the economy.
- On federal taxes, Kris Cox, Chuck Marr, Sarah Calame, Stephanie Hingtgen, George Fenton, and Arloc Sherman outlined how about 16 million children in low-income families would gain in the first year of the bipartisan Child Tax Credit expansion. We also released a fact sheet on the Child Tax Credit proposal, detailing impacts by the numbers.
- On the economy, we updated our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available per state.
