    title sounds like clickbait. it’s so weird to use collapsing, when the real story is the covid era programs are expiring (as OP thankfully points out, thanks OP).

      The programs in question were incredibly effective at ending child poverty in the US. Their ending will increase child poverty.

        Sure, but my point is that the article title is burying the lede by not pointing that out in the title. There’s also like 4 articles posted that specific detail already.

            There’s several other posts from other news articles that just get to the point and are less click-baity.

            “Child poverty increases sharply after tax credit expiration” (PBS)
            “Many Americans facing hardship as benefits created during COVID-19 end” (PBS)
            “US Child poverty jumped and income declined in 2022 as COVID benefits expired” (modified slightly from the AP title)
