January’s webinar presented research about the cliff effect, and this month we learned more about how one community has started to address the cliff effect through conversations with business about job quality and solutions. We are joined by Mardia Shands, M.A., SPHR, SHRM-SCP, the Executive Director of Partners for a Competitive Workforce in the Greater Cincinnati region.

As families climb from poverty to economic independence, they lose public benefits as their income increases. Unfortunately, there are points on the journey where earning even $1 more means the family will lose a benefit worth hundreds of dollars each month. This phenomenon, known as the benefit cliff, can be a barrier to self-sufficiency for low income individuals.
This webinar, led by Emily Campbell, Associate Director of The Center for Community Solutions, introduces listeners to the benefit cliff and how it can impact low-income families. Data is presented which shows where Ohio working families experience a cliff, and there is discussion regarding how policy decisions in recent years have improved or deepened cliffs, and what it might take families to overcome these obstacles.
