What to Watch for in Next Week’s Census Data on Poverty, Income, and Health Insurance in 2022

Poverty may have risen by historic amounts, driven by the expiration of pandemic relief including, notably, the expanded Child Tax Credit. A smaller share of people than ever may have lacked health insurance in 2022 — but figures will not reflect the coverage loss underway in 2023 due to the expiration of pandemic-era Medicaid coverage safeguards.

SNAP Includes an Extensive Payment Accuracy System

By the end of June, the Agriculture Department (USDA) will release overpayment and underpayment error rates for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The error rates may be higher than pre-pandemic because in 2022 states were still being affected by some of the ongoing challenges of the pandemic.
