America's Children in Poverty: A New Look at Who's Poor Under the Supplemental Poverty Measure. The “Core Poor”

Looking only at differences between all OPM and all SPM poor children tends to mask important differences between subgroups of children.

Opportunities under the Affordable Care Act for Human Services Programs to Modernize Eligibility Systems and Expedite Eligibility Determination. Background of enhanced federal funding and the cost-allocation exception
