According to new Census data, 6 temporary government programs, initiated in 2009 (before this happened), kept nearly 7 million Americans out of poverty in 2010.  These effects are separate from the poverty reduction that resulted from measures preventing a deeper economic downturn with a greater loss of jobs. Specifically: Expansions in the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC) kept 1.6 million people out of poverty. The Making Work Pay tax credit, which expired at the end of 2010, kept another 1.5 million people out of poverty. Expansions in the duration and level of unemployment insurance benefits kept 3.4 million people out of poverty. Expansions in SNAP benefits (formerly called food stamps) kept 1.0 million people out of poverty. Check out all of the analysis here.
