• Social Security: Cost-of-Living Adjustments [Updated October 14, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Summary: "To compensate for the effects of inflation, Social Security recipients usually receive an annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). According to parameters outlined in the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. §415(i)), a 1.3% COLA is payable in January 2021. For a retired worker receiving the average monthly benefit amount of $1,523, the COLA will result in a $20 increase in Social Security benefits (after final rounding down to the nearest dollar for a total of $1,543). Social Security COLAs are based on changes in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), updated monthly by the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)."

• International Economic Policy Coordination at the G-7 and the G-20 [Updated October 14, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Summary: "The Group of Seven (G-7) and the Group of Twenty (G-20) are informal forums for advancing international economic cooperation and coordination among countries. The G-7 dates back to the 1970s and is a small group of industrialized democracies, including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The G-20 rose to prominence during the global financial crisis in 2008-2009 and is a broader group including the G-7 countries as well as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, and the European Union (EU). The G-7 and G-20 leaders generally meet annually at summits, and lower-level officials meet throughout the year. The meetings generally focus on international economic and financial issues, although over time the scope of the meetings have expanded to include a broad range of foreign policy issues, including food security, climate change, and women's empowerment, among others."

• National Emergency Powers [Updated October 14, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Summary: "The President of the United States has available certain powers that may be exercised in the event that the nation is threatened by crisis, exigency, or emergency circumstances (other than natural disasters, war, or near-war situations). Such powers may be stated explicitly or implied by the Constitution, assumed by the Chief Executive to be permissible constitutionally, or inferred from or specified by statute. Through legislation, Congress has made a great many delegations of authority in this regard over the past 230 years. There are, however, limits and restraints upon the President in his exercise of emergency powers. With the exception of the habeas corpus clause, the Constitution makes no allowance for the suspension of any of its provisions during a national emergency. Disputes over the constitutionality or legality of the exercise of emergency powers are judicially reviewable. Both the judiciary and Congress, as co-equal branches, can restrain the executive regarding emergency powers. So can public opinion. Since 1976, the President has been subject to certain procedural formalities in utilizing some statutorily delegated emergency authority."

• National Emergencies Act: Expedited Procedures in the House and Senate [October 14, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Summary: "The National Emergencies Act of 1976 (NEA) provides Congress with expedited parliamentary procedures for the consideration of a joint resolution terminating a national emergency (referred to here as a 'termination resolution'), and it establishes a six-month congressional review period for ongoing national emergencies. These 'fast track' procedures are intended to limit consideration and allow a simple majority to reach a final vote in each chamber by setting deadlines for action on the measure at each stage of its consideration. However, the NEA is silent on most other aspects of consideration, unlike many more recent statutory procedures that typically include more specific instructions. To date, only six joint resolutions eligible for expedited consideration under the NEA have been submitted to Congress, all of which have been considered under alternative parliamentary mechanisms. Some insight regarding the possible operation of the procedures provided in the statute may be found in precedents established in relation to the War Powers Resolution of 1973 (WPR), after which the NEA's procedures were patterned."

• Kuwait: Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy [Updated October 14, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Summary: "Kuwait has been pivotal to the decades-long U.S. effort to secure the Persian Gulf region because of its consistent cooperation with U.S. military operations in the region and its key location in the northern Gulf. Kuwait and the United States have a formal Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA), under which the United States deploys over 13,000 military personnel in country and prepositions substantial quantities of military equipment. Kuwait is a partner not only of the United States but also of the other hereditary monarchies of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman). Kuwaiti forces are part of the Saudi-led coalition that is trying to defeat the Iran-backed 'Houthi' rebel movement in Yemen, while at the same time mediating a possible resolution to that and other regional conflicts. Kuwait is attempting to heal the intra-GCC rift that erupted in June 2017 when Saudi Arabia and the UAE [United Arab Emirates] moved to isolate Qatar. Kuwait has refrained from intervening in Syria's civil war, instead hosting several donor conferences for victims of the Syrian civil conflict. Kuwait also has provided funds for Iraq's recovery from the Islamic State challenge and to ameliorate the effects of regional conflict on Jordan's economy. Kuwait has not followed some of the other GCC states in building ties to the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel."

• Cost-Of-Living Adjustments for Federal Civil Service Annuities [Updated October 14, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Summary: "Cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) are based on the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). COLAs for both CSRS and FERS are determined by the average monthly CPI-W during the third quarter (July to September) of the current calendar year and the third quarter of the base year, which is the last previous year in which a COLA was applied. The 'effective date' for COLAs is December, but they first appear in the benefits issued during the following January. All CSRS retirees and survivors receive COLAs. Under FERS, however, nondisabled retirees under the age of 62 do not receive COLAs. Survivors and disabled retirees are eligible for COLAs under FERS regardless of age."

• 2020 Elections: Selected Resources for Members and Constituents [October 14, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Document: "The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and reports of potential election interference might raise questions for Members and constituents about the 2020 elections. Potential disinformation campaigns and changes to election procedures in response to COVID-19 might make it more difficult for voters to determine how to register and vote. Voters might also be concerned about possible effects of COVID-19 or interference efforts on their safety or on the security of election workers or the electoral process itself. This Insight shares selected resources Members and constituents might find helpful for navigating such questions. It links to information about (1) how to register and vote in 2020, and (2) how federal agencies are responding to potential election interference efforts and election effects of COVID-19. This product focuses on resources available from government officials and some of the organizations that support them, such as the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) and National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL). Additional information may be available from media outlets or nonprofit groups."

• Federal Eviction Moratoriums in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic [Updated October 14, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Document: "On September 4, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) imposed a nationwide temporary federal moratorium on residential evictions due to nonpayment of rent. The stated purpose of the order is preventing the further spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), specifically by preventing homelessness and overcrowded housing conditions resulting from eviction. The action, which followed an Executive Order directing the CDC to consider such a measure, is unprecedented, both in terms of the federal reach into what is traditionally state and local governance of landlord-tenant law and its use of a public health authority for this purpose. The new national eviction moratorium took effect less than two weeks after the expiration of a different and narrower set of eviction protections established by the CARES [Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security] Act (§4024). This Insight compares the two eviction moratoriums across several key features and ends with a review of some outstanding questions raised by the new moratorium."

• Interim Considerations for Testing for K-12 School Administrators and Public Health Officials

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Document: "With the increased availability of tests, these considerations are intended to provide guidance on the appropriate use of testing for SARS-CoV-2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2] (the virus that causes COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]) in K-12 [kindergarten to twelfth grade] schools for surveillance, diagnosis, screening, or outbreak response. Schools can help protect students and their families, teachers, staff, and the broader community and slow the spread of COVID-19. Testing to diagnose COVID-19 is part of a comprehensive strategy and should be used in conjunction with promoting behaviors that reduce spread (e.g., mask use, social distancing, hand hygiene); maintaining healthy environments (e.g., cleaning and disinfection, ventilation); maintaining healthy operations (e.g., scheduling, virtual learning, class sizes); and preparing for when someone gets sick."

• U.S.-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas: Background and Issues for Congress [Updated October 13, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Summary: "In an international security environment described as one of renewed great power competition, the South China Sea (SCS) has emerged as an arena of U.S.-China strategic competition. U.S.-China strategic competition in the SCS forms an element of the Trump Administration's more confrontational overall approach toward China, and of the Administration's efforts for promoting its construct for the Indo-Pacific region, called the Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP). China's actions in the SCS in recent years--including extensive island-building and base construction activities at sites that it occupies in the Spratly Islands, as well as actions by its maritime forces to assert China's claims against competing claims by regional neighbors such as the Philippines and Vietnam--have heightened concerns among U.S. observers that China is gaining effective control of the SCS, an area of strategic, political, and economic importance to the United States and its allies and partners. Actions by China's maritime forces at the Japan-administered Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea (ECS) are another concern for U.S. observers. Chinese domination of China's near-seas region--meaning the SCS and ECS, along with the Yellow Sea--could substantially affect U.S. strategic, political, and economic interests in the Indo-Pacific region and elsewhere."

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Summary: "The Aegis ballistic missile defense (BMD) program, which is carried out by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the Navy, gives Navy Aegis cruisers and destroyers a capability for conducting BMD operations. BMD-capable Aegis ships operate in European waters to defend Europe from potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as Iran, and in in the Western Pacific and the Persian Gulf to provide regional defense against potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as North Korea and Iran. Under the FY2021 budget submission, the number of BMD-capable Navy Aegis ships is projected to increase from 48 at the end of FY2021 to 65 at the end of FY2025. The Aegis BMD program is funded mostly through MDA's budget. The Navy's budget provides additional funding for BMD-related efforts. MDA's proposed FY2021 budget requests a total of $1,805.1 million (i.e., about $1.8 billion) in procurement and research and development funding for Aegis BMD efforts, including funding for two Aegis Ashore sites in Poland and Romania. MDA's budget also includes operations and maintenance (O&M) and military construction (MilCon) funding for the Aegis BMD program."

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Summary: "A 'lame duck' session of Congress occurs whenever one Congress meets after its successor is elected but before the end of its own constitutional term. Under present conditions, any meeting of Congress between election day in November and the following January 3 is a lame duck session. Prior to 1933, when the Twentieth Amendment changed the dates of the congressional term, the last regular session of Congress was always a lame duck session. Today, however, the expression is primarily used for any portion of a regular session that falls after an election. Congress has held 22 lame duck sessions since the implementation of the Twentieth Amendment. From the first modern lame duck session in 1940 to 1998, the sessions occurred sporadically. Beginning in 2000, both houses of Congress have held a lame duck session following every election. In this report, the data presentation is separate for the sporadic period (76th-105th Congresses) and the consistent period (106th-present) in order to identify past and emerging trends."

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Introduction: "In the context of the Covid-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic the media have repeatedly described the past six months as unprecedented. As members of the public we have collectively witnessed many changes to our social world, our economy, our families, our personal lives, and also to our experience of work. [...] This document is a formal acknowledgment from the BPS of the impact on the wellbeing of psychologists working within the UK, each of whom are at their own frontline of this pandemic. The document aims to build on the valuable resources developed and shared by psychologists over the past six months, as well as sharing the experiences of psychologists from a range of settings across the family of psychology. The wellbeing of psychologists and the Covid-19 pandemic project is comprised of three parts; the first focuses on capturing and understanding the impact on our biopsychosocial wellbeing and has been organised into 10 distinct themes. The second is a synthesis of helpful and accessible resources that psychologists have either developed or used over the past six months. The third is a series of virtual offerings including a live launch webinar, a series of powerful individual video stories from psychologists sharing their experiences during the pandemic, and finally a concluding virtual event which looks forward to the future."

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Document: "The societal stigma attached to certain people or demographic groups based on their perceived attributes or their role in society leads to pervasive and overt discrimination. It can also lead to violence and exclusion that limits access to basic services and humanitarian assistance. During health crises, societal stigma often takes root and proliferates rapidly. This was the case during both past Ebola outbreaks and the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Indeed, humanitarians and other first responders have identified stigma as a key challenge in the rapidly expanding global COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] crisis. It is, therefore, critical that humanitarian organizations integrate strategies to counter stigma in the COVID-19 response. These strategies may also pave the way to improve how stigma is prevented and addressed beyond this pandemic"

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Document: "The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic has led many election administrators, as well as voters, to reconsider the manner in which votes will be cast during the 2020 general election. With many voters wary of waiting in line in person beside strangers on Election Day, registrars around the country are preparing for a far higher share of ballots to be cast by mail than ever before. The best available academic research suggests that holding elections entirely by mail slightly increases turnout, but does not advantage either major political party. [...] Here we evaluate three questions: [1] 'How many people report that they will vote by mail in each state?' [2] 'What will be the difference in candidate choice between those who vote on the day of the election versus those who vote by mail?' [and 3] 'What is the potential shift in the margin between Trump and Biden from the day of voting to a count that incorporates votes received by mail?' To evaluate these questions, we use the most recent two waves of our 50-state survey, which included a question asking 37,659 respondents (26,838 among them likely voters) how likely they were to vote by absentee or mail-in ballot."
