This study investigates the impact of CTC disbursement methods – monthly installments versus a single, equivalent lump-sum payment – on the mental health of low-income households, a particularly vulnerable population. Using data from the Household Pulse Survey and a triple difference analysis, we compare the correlation between these two disbursement strategies and four key mental health indicators: anxiety, worry, disinterest, and down feeling. Results demonstrate that lump-sum disbursements are associated with significantly greater improvements in mental health outcomes. While monthly payments may offer distinct, potentially longer-term benefits, our findings highlight the superior short-term mental health outcomes associated with lump-sum disbursements. These results point to the importance of disbursement strategy in the design and implementation of financial support programs aimed at improving family well-being.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11468,"journal":{"name":"Economics Letters","volume":"254 ","pages":"Article 112494"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144580682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
