Abstract:
This brief provides projections for August to December 2020, the period following the expiration of the major CARES Act and FFCRA economic security benefits. We project poverty rates for the 2020 annual poverty rate, as well as the poverty rate over the August to December period. We project eligibility for three federal programs that serve low income households in need: Medicaid/CHIP, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP).
