The Upward Mobility Act is a Step Forward on Welfare Reform – Americans for Prosperity

Numerous welfare programs have steep benefit cliffs, where increased earnings lead to a greater loss of benefits. For example, a worker in Illinois could lose over $25,000 in benefits by accepting a raise from a $54,000 annual salary to $55,000 per year. The federal Upward Mobility Act, sponsored in the House of Representatives by Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT) and in the Senate by Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH), would help address this issue.
