This week at CBPP, we focused on federal taxes, family income support, health, state budgets and taxes, and the economy.
-
On federal taxes, Jabari Cook, Luis Nuñez, and Sarah Calame highlighted two ways to expand the Child Tax Credit in an effort to reach more Hispanic families; we also released a Spanish-language version.
-
On family income support, Diana Azevedo-McCaffrey explained how states should use new guidance to stop charging parents for foster care and prioritize family reunification.
-
On health, Claire Heyison pointed out that more families will spend less on health care premiums thanks to a fix for the “family glitch.”
-
On state budgets and taxes, Iris Hinh, Ariana Hammersmith, and Samantha Wing described how states are using Fiscal Recovery Funds to promote income security.

On the economy, we updated our backgrounder tracking the recovery from the pandemic recession. We also updated our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are currently available.
