NWLC Comments Opposing Slower Inflation Measure for the Official Poverty Measure
The National Women’s Law Center submitted a comment to the Office of Management and Budget in opposition to the use of any slower and more inaccurate inflation measure for the annual adjustments of the Official Poverty Measure (OPM) used by public benefit programs. Such a change would make poverty measurement less accurate and would cause women, children, and families to lose vital public benefits, inflicting serious harm on them, their communities, and the nation.
