New from Urban: ARPA PTCs are well targeted to those in need - 75% of $ goes to those < 400 FPL. Those above are older, have big families, and/or live in expensive states. https://t.co/WzfykMrMTs

A quick 🧵 about my latest brief with @julialong_ and Jennifer M. Haley:
We find that parents with low incomes faced greater health challenges, and problems accessing and affording needed healthcare, in Spring 2021.

[Genevieve M. Kenney @kenneygm]

Parents with family incomes <138%FPL were 3x as likely as parents >400%FPL to have delayed or forgone care in the last year for reasons besides COVID.

Across all 3 income groups, about 1/4 of parents reported delaying/forgoing care in the last year due to COVID concerns.
