President Biden's FY25 budget is full of ideas to make affordable health care more accessible, the tax code fairer & more. @CenterOnBudget explains these proposals, including #WIC. cbpp.org/blog/analyzing…
As President Biden highlighted the 2021 expansion of the Child Tax Credit was a tremendous success -- it led to a historic reduction in child poverty -- we need to reinstate that expansion and make it permanent:
One major priority this year should be passing the bipartisan, expanded #ChildTaxCredit. It would help 16 million children in low-income families. cbpp.org/research/feder…
Renters incomes can't keep up with rising rents. Constraining rent costs, stopping egregious fees by landlords, increasing access to rental assistance, and building more units to meet demand are exactly what's needed so people have a safe affordable place to live. #CBPPSOTU
The debates taking place now in Washington and across the country during this election year foreshadow critical policy decisions that will have to be made in 2025, regardless of the outcome of the fall elections. cbpp.org/research/feder…
If you've been following #WIC funding developments & would like to learn more about what else is in yesterday's bill and what remains to be addressed, here's @CenterOnBudget's take.

All views are my own.As President Biden highlighted the 2021 expansion of the Child Tax Credit was a tremendous success -- it led to a historic reduction in child poverty -- we need to reinstate that expansion and make it permanent:
The President is right. We need to raise revenues on high income households and corporations to make high-value investments in people, communities, and the economy and to improve our fiscal outlook. #CBPPSOTU
Renters incomes can't keep up with rising rents. Constraining rent costs, stopping egregious fees by landlords, increasing access to rental assistance, and building more units to meet demand are exactly what's needed so people have a safe affordable place to live. #CBPPSOTU
As Congress moves forward on funding decisions, it's critical that they prioritize full funding for #WIC so that low-income parents & young kids aren't turned away from vital nutrition assistance & families can continue to count on receiving the full science-based food benefit.
News of progress over the weekend on appropriations. Reportedly, leaders of the House & Senate Appropriations Committees have reached agreement dividing the overall funding total for 2024 among the 12 regular appropriations bills. This means the long-delayed process can proceed.
How far we've come: nearly a decade ago, I was working on a bipartisan bill to create a permanent summer EBT program (which never got close to becoming law!) that would have funded benefits for 285,000 kids. Now, *21 million kids* will benefit in year one of this new program.
Nearly 21 million children in the U.S. and its territories are expected to receive food benefits this summer through a newly permanent federal program, the United States Department of Agriculture announced Wednesday. to.pbs.org/3RQVfJe
It's a *huge deal* that so many states are participating in the first year of summer EBT & it's encouraging that more will likely join in 2025. Summer EBT is an effective model that reduces food insecurity & improves nutrition. Kids shouldn't be going hungry when school is out!
I'm announcing that 35 states, all five U.S. territories and four tribes have signed on for the inaugural year of the Summer EBT Program. Their participation means 21 million children will receive grocery benefits in the summer months when food insecurity for kids is the highest.
Update: OMB just concluded its review of the summer EBT interim final rule. Get your Federal Register alert set!
It was so nice to connect with fellow #ChildTaxCredit advocates a couple of weeks ago! Grateful to be doing this work with such awesome folks.
About 2 million parents & young children could be turned away from #WIC, hungry, by September if Congress fails to give WIC the full funding it needs. More from @Katie_Bergh & @zoeneuberger: bit.ly/3Tletc8
👀For those tracking implementation of the new Summer EBT program, the interim final rule went to OMB for review this week: reginfo.gov/public/do/eoDe…
Important CR issue that shouldn’t be overlooked: Speaker Johnson’s CR plan doesn’t provide additional #WIC funding so that postpartum participants & young children aren’t turned away from vital food assistance.
New blog: the looming #WIC funding shortfall would jeopardize access to vital nutrition benefits for hundreds of thousands of low-income new parents & young kids, disproportionately harming Black & Hispanic families. Read more here: cbpp.org/blog/looming-w…
Food assistance is at risk unless Congress acts quickly. Without additional funding for WIC, states may be forced to turn people away. This will make it even harder for women with low-incomes to access fresh fruit and vegetables for their families. usnews.com/opinion/articl…
I want to share some happy personal news. Last week, I was honored to marry my best friend with our families and loves ones. It was truly a perfect day. ❤️ Just 8 years ago, us getting married would have been illegal in many states, and we feel so grateful to celebrate our love.
#AntiHunger Advocates, we need to shout this from the rooftops. #WIC must get add’l funding in any Continuing Resolution to ensure moms & babies aren’t turned away @zoeneuberger @OhioFoodbanks @HopeFromOhio @MeEqualJustice @HungerFreeNJ @NewYorkHunger @ClaireCLane @fractweets
"Congress must live up to its responsibility to all those who depend on the program, providing sufficient funding in a continuing resolution to ensure no one is turned away from WIC.." Read the full NWA Statement: nwica.org/press-releases…
"Congress must live up to its responsibility to all those who depend on the program, providing sufficient funding in a continuing resolution to ensure no one is turned away from WIC.." Read the full NWA Statement: nwica.org/press-releases…
We applaud and thank @USDANutrition for this opportunity to help modernize WIC and improve maternal and child health outcomes across the country.
BIG NEWS! We’ll be working w/ @NatWICAssoc & @JohnsHopkinsSPH on a new project from @USDANutrition. For the next 5 yrs, our collab will provide grants & assistance to states to help advance data-driven strategies that connect more eligible families to #WIC.fns.usda.gov/news-item/fns-…
In a nation that just saw child poverty more than double & has disgracefully high maternal mortality rates, the least Congress should do is make a down payment on full funding for #WIC in its stop-gap funding bill (CR).
The Senate is expected to advance a stopgap funding bill, known as a continuing resolution, next week to avoid a government shutdown. It's absolutely critical for it to include a down payment on #WIC funding to ensure there's no risk that eligible people are turned away.
