1/ What happens when you make public benefits easier (and less stigmatizing to use)?
New research led by lab affiliate @AditiVasan in @JAMAPediatrics shows that moving from paper vouchers to elec. benefit cards ⬆️ #WIC uptake among low-income women+kids.

2/ The study uses a natural experiment - variation in state adoption of WIC electronic benefit cards - to estimate the causal effects of this policy change.
Here's the punchline - a 7.8% increase in program participation 3 years after the EBT transition:

3/ Whether increased program participation led to improvements in food security depends on many factors. In one state, for example, vendors in low-income areas exited the WIC program after the EBT transition: aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

The $1.4 trillion bipartisan, bicameral funding agreement announced today rejects the devastating and shortsighted cuts proposed by President Trump and makes historic investments in the American people and working families. #Appropriations appropriations.senate.gov/news/minority/…
The agreement supports children and families by making an historic investment in Child Care and Development Block grants ($5.8 billion), meaning as many as 44,000 more children will be served by the program. #Appropriations
It supports child nutrition programs that provide over 31 million children with lunch during each school day, and ensures that 6 million women, infants, and children receive the nutritional support they need through the #WIC program. #Appropriations
On September 22, the Trump Administration announced a proposed rule change would negatively impact certain immigrants and immigrant families who access public services that help them stay healthy or pursue education and economic stability.
The government is proposing to change the public charge policy dramatically, to make it more difficult for low- and moderate-income families to come to and stay in the U.S.
This policy change is yet another way that the #Trump Administration is attacking immigrant communities in Seattle, in Washington State & across the Country. Passage of this rule will undoubtedly cause fear and terror amongst our immigrant communities in Seattle.
