Does greater purchasing power of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program improve children’s development?
Monthly Child Tax Credit Receipt and Spending, Household Structure, and Race and Ethnicity
In 2021, there was a historic, although temporary, expansion to the Child Tax Credit (CTC), shifting it to a near-universal monthly child allowance. Building on previous literature that suggests a growing heterogeneity in family structure intersects with access to safety net programs, we examine how household structure and race/ethnicity independently shaped the patterns of receiving and spending the monthly CTC, and how they jointly shaped the r…
Do Larger Earned Income Tax Credit and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Benefits Create Complementary Effects on Child Development
Poverty is particularly concerning during early childhood and the early school years, as it can negatively impact child development both in the short and long term. To alleviate economic hardship, the U.S. government provides a patchwork of income support policies. This paper examines two of the largest programs, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which low-income working families often r…
Settlement Duration Matters: Deportation Threat and Safety Net Participation Among Mixed-Status Families
Studies link intensified immigration enforcement to reduced safety net participation among mixed-status families, but less is known about how this varies by settlement duration. Bridging research on immigrant settlement and system avoidance, we theorize that the impacts are strongest among immigrants with shorter US residency. To test this, we analyze whether exposure to deportation threat, measured as removals under Secure Communities per one th…

However, unstable patterns of subsidy use may be associated with instability in care arrangements and with potential negative consequences for parental employment and child well-being. Using a unique data set that links longitudinal administrative subsidy records to survey and child-care calendar data, …

This is the first comprehensive study of the turbulent relationship among state, society, and church in the making of the modern German welfare system during the Weimar Republic.
