Steering Committee Meeting, CTC, and PHE Unwinding
Dear John,
As you may know, last week PIF staff and partner organizations met up in Washington, D.C. for our first in-person Steering Committee meeting since 2019. During this joint Steering Committee and Executive Committee meeting we worked on strengthening relationships with our partners, and took great strides forward in positioning PIF for the next phase of our fight. We are so grateful to all our dedicated leadership committee members for the commitment and energy they bring to this coalition.
We will have a lot to share in the coming weeks as we finish developing our policy principles, priorities, and other ideas. In the meantime, we're sharing a few valuable resources from PIF partner organizations related to income benefits, and a CMS webinar on the PHE unwinding. Learn more below!

In it, they share 9 steps policymakers can take to increase access to SSI for people who have limited English proficiency.
