Key drivers

  • May level provides the persistence anchor
  • Recent monthly changes show modest underlying growth with occasional benefit-payment jumps
  • Social Security and Medicaid source-data revisions create first-print uncertainty
  • No identified June policy change warrants extrapolating May's unusually large increase
