A person who is well below the national
poverty level, and who receives an increase in pay, can still struggle to reach
economic stability because of the current negative
"cliff effects"
built into
public assistance programs.

-
Public assistance ends when a person's income increases to a certain
level.
-
The sudden loss of assistance programs such as Food Stamps (SNAP),
childcare or fuel assistance can create what is known as the "cliff effect."
-
Often times an increase of less than $50 a month can lead to the loss of
several hundred dollars' worth of programs.
-
When the gain in income doesn't
cover the needs of their family once assistance is lost, it can cause someone
to turn down a raise or even promotions.
