This week at CBPP, we focused on federal tax, housing, health, state budgets and taxes, food assistance, and the economy.
* On federal tax, Chuck Marr noted ([link removed]) that 3 million veteran and active-duty households would benefit from the proposed Working Families Tax Relief Act. Yixuan Huang described ([link removed]) how proposals, including the Working Families Tax Relief Act, would help same-sex couples. Marr, Huang, and Vincent Palacios analyzed ([link removed]) legislation from the House Ways and Means Committee that would expand the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. We updated our backgrounders on federal payroll taxes ([link removed]) and tax exemptions, deductions, and credits
([link removed]) .
* On housing, Anna Bailey explained ([link removed]) how a proposed rule from the Trump Administration would force 25,000 families to split up or lose their rental assistance, risking eviction and homelessness.

* On health, Judith Solomon and Jessica Schubel warned against ([link removed]) Medicaid waivers that could let states ignore federal standards and beneficiary protections, posing serious risks to beneficiaries, providers, and states. We also released a related policy brief ([link removed]) . Schubel updated ([link removed]) a report on how partial Medicaid expansions fall short of full Medicaid expansions with respect to coverage and access to care. Jennifer Wagner updated ([link removed]) an analysis of Arkansas’ Medicaid waiver, which has taken coverage away from
eligible people.
