In Case You Missed It…
This week at CBPP, we focused on the federal budget, federal taxes, state taxes, health, family income support, and the economy.
- On the federal budget, we analyzed President Biden’s 2023 budget proposal.
- On federal taxes, Janne Huang noted that many people will qualify for larger tax refunds this year due to temporary tax credit expansions.
- On state taxes, Iris Hinh highlighted our top state tax charts for the upcoming Tax Day.
- On health, Gideon Lukens explained that uncompensated care costs fell in states that recently expanded Medicaid. We also updated our fact sheet on coverage for COVID-19 testing, vaccinations, and treatment.
- On family income support, we updated our state fact sheets on the share of families in poverty receiving cash assistance through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.
- On the economy, we updated our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are currently available.
