Social Security Interactions With Child Tax Credit Expansion
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA; P.L. 117‐2) temporarily expanded the Child Tax Credit (CTC), increasing the number of eligible children and payment amount with advance monthly payments delivered from July to December 2021. Many Social Security program beneficiary households with children were newly CTC eligible for the expanded tax benefit that provided up to $3600 per child per year. Using data from the Current Population Survey and …
Racial Climate on Willingness to Participate in Clinical Research
OBJECTIVE: In the USA, there are striking racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes particularly among African American individuals, compared to White individuals. Despite these disparities, recruiting African American communities for clinical research remains challenging. Using the socio-ecological model as a framework, this project examined whether the racial climate of the geographical area-including police shootings, neighborhood vulne…
Patterns of Advance Child Tax Credit Receipt and Spending among Children with Retired or Disabled Household Members
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 expanded and paid monthly a fully refundable child tax credit (CTC) to eligible US children under 18. About 12 percent of children live in a household with an adult or child who receives benefits from one or more Social Security programs. In this study, we use data from the Census Household Pulse Survey to explore CTC receipt among these households. We present evidence that the Social Security Administration b…
Bankruptcy in Black and White: The Effect of Race and Bankruptcy Code Exemptions on Wealth
Bankruptcy law in the United States is race-neutral on its face but, in practice, race matters in bankruptcy outcomes. Our original research provides an empirical look at how the facially neutral laws that allow debtors to retain assets in bankruptcy cases result in disparate outcomes for Black and white debtors. Racial differences in asset retention in bankruptcy cases play a role in perpetuating wealth inequality between Black and white debtors…
Racial and Ethnic Disparities: Essential Workers, Mental Health, and the Coronavirus Pandemic
Evidence is emerging of the pandemic disproportionately impacting communities of color. This study investigates mental health distress among essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic across race and ethnicity. We evaluate individual responses to the patient health questionnaire and general anxiety disorder questionnaire using a unique, nationally representative data set. Our findings suggest that essential healthcare workers reported the …
Distance Learning and Parental Mental Health During Covid-19
As COVID-19 cases continue to increase across the country, there is a concern about the extent to which this pandemic will affect students. Since March 2020, schools transitioned to a distance-learning format, which unintentionally forced parents into new teaching roles as proxy educators. In this brief, we explore the association between distance learning and the mental health of proxy educators. We find that parents with children who struggled …
No Home and No Acceptance: Exploring the Intersectionality of Sexual/Gender Identities (LGBTQ) and Race in the Foster Care System
Black youth have been overrepresented in the U.S. foster care system for decades. This, coupled with disparities in treatment and outcomes, has forced all child welfare agencies to take note and influenced policy change, at the federal level. Recently, literature has begun to bring to light the existence of a substantial LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) foster youth population which is overrepresented and underserved. This a…
