Child poverty worsens in NY while nation improves, state comptroller reports
More New York children fell into poverty after the Covid-19 pandemic while other children in the country saw improvement, according to a new report from New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
“Agreement on a bold roadmap is needed at both the federal and state levels, starting with the enactment of the enhanced federal Child Tax Credit,” the report states. In 2022, however, that number more than doubled to 20% while also widening the gap between New York and the rest of the country. With federal financial support, New York’s child poverty rate was within 2% of the national average. Without federal assistance that gap widened to 4%.
