The data from the graph in the article shows a very obvious downward trend of child poverty from the end of 2020 until now. The line that demarcates the 'monthly cheques' I don't think is remotely remarkable. That's not to say anything for or against the program, but I think that they are overstating things. If you want a chart that shows a 'possible driver' of lowered poverty that lines up a little bit more nicely with that graph, try this [1] which is just US BLS unemployment. As millions of people become unemployed ... child poverty rates spike, as they become employed, they go down.
