The data years used to pick recipients move to 2018 through 2022
What the document says“The highest age-adjusted average rates of drug overdose deaths for calendar years 2018 through 2022 based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including, if necessary, provisional data for calendar year 2022.”
The section rewrites paragraph (2) of section 7183(c) of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act. The rewritten paragraph names three measures over calendar years 2018 through 2022: the highest overdose death rates, the highest unemployment rates, and the lowest labor force participation rates.
What the document actually says“The highest age-adjusted average rates of drug overdose deaths for calendar years 2018 through 2022 based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including, if necessary, provisional data for calendar year 2022.”
Places are picked using three sets of numbers. One is drug deaths. The years counted are 2018 through 2022.
The other two are about work. One is how many people are out of a job. The other is how many are looking for work at all.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
