But eligibility rules often make it hard for employees to use this full suite of resources without risking loss of benefits or income. These “mobility blockers” penalize workers, preventing them from accruing meaningful savings or accepting promotions that would advance their careers.

Given the stakes, what can employers and lawmakers do to address these mobility blockers?

Join the Center for Social Development, the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program, and the National Academy of Social Insurance for a panel discussion highlighting new research on workers’ economic mobility and featuring the perspectives of national leaders impacted by and working to prevent benefits cliffs.
