Public benefits recipients deserve transparency about benefits cliffs.
Leap Fund has seen workers across the country turn down income that they have earned at their jobs, out of fear of hitting the benefits cliff (essentially: earning a dollar or two more an hour, but as a result, losing public benefits that were worth much more than the income increase). We’re changing things for workers receiving public benefits who are afraid of this financial catastrophe affecting them.
We’d be honored for your support, so that we can continue creating solutions for benefits cliffs.
