Free to read, “May need a subscription” and “Archived copy”: what they mean
Whether an article is free to read is a guess, not a test of your access. Each item is one of three:
- No label: free to read (303 of 347). The publisher’s page marks it free, or the outlet publishes free to read: Medical Xpress, ScienceDaily, NIH (incl. NIA and PMC), Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's News Today, NPR, Alzheimer's Disease International, or a .gov site.
- May need a subscription (11 of 347). The publisher’s own page marks the article as not free to read, or — when the page says nothing — the outlet sells subscriptions: The New York Times, STAT, Scientific American, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Economist, Bloomberg, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Wired, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, The Times, The Telegraph, New Scientist, Endpoints News, Science. Each badge says which.
- “Free to read? Not known” (33 of 347). The outlet is on neither list and its page said nothing. We do not call these paywalled.
Archived copy links go to a copy the Internet Archive (web.archive.org) saved, dated the day it was saved. We show one only where the Internet Archive reported a working saved copy when we checked; an archived copy of a subscription article sometimes shows only its opening. 265 of 347 items have one.
Connecticut Enacts Family Caregiver Tax Credit of Up to $2,000 a Year, Effective Tax Year 2027
Gov. Ned Lamont signed Connecticut's fiscal year 2027 budget adjustment (Public Act 26-68) on May 26, 2026, creating a state tax credit for family caregivers who pay out-of-pocket costs to support the activities of daily living of adult family members. Reimbursements are capped at $2,000 a year and can cover home safety and accessibility modifications or paying a health aide or personal care attendant; the credit begins in tax year 2027. It is limited to individuals earning under $50,000 (joint filers under $100,000), requires a voucher application approved first-come first-served, and the program is capped at $1.8 million annually.
Why it matters: Connecticut has enacted a tax credit of up to $2,000 per year for family caregivers covering out-of-pocket costs for adult family members.
