This week at CBPP, we focused on state budgets and taxes, health, income security, and the economy.
- On state budgets and taxes, Anna Phillips called on lawmakers to enact more equitable property tax policies to support public education and local economies, and Joanna LeFebvre emphasized the need for states to raise revenues for public education, as federal pandemic-era school funding is set to expire. We also updated our interactive map highlighting earned income tax credits and child tax credits by state.
- On health, Symonne Singleton examined the drawbacks of remote identity proofing in Medicaid enrollment, including administrative burdens on marginalized communities and state agencies.
- On income security, in an annual update to our report and fact sheets, Aditi Shrivastava and Maria Manansala pointed out that states only spend around one-fifth of their federal and state TANF funds on basic cash assistance. To promote economic security and racial equity, states should invest more TANF dollars in cash assistance.
- On the economy, we updated our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment insurance are available per state.

The rebate amount is adjusted annually for inflation and will be updated for tax year 2024 when available. It is structured as a sales tax exemption in the form of a refund, but it functions similarly to an EITC and eligibility is based on receipt of the federal EITC. Beginning in 2024, individuals can apply for a refund for credits they were eligible for but did not claim for up to three years prior. | |
