Raises. Promotions. More hours.
For most workers, those are good things. But for some, they come with an unexpected cost: the benefits cliff — when a small increase in income leads to a much larger loss in public benefits.
WEBINAR
July 15, 2025
11-11:30 AM (central U.S.), 12-12:30 PM (eastern U.S.)
What happens when a raise costs more than it pays? For millions of workers, a small income boost can trigger the loss of critical public benefits — a phenomenon known as the benefits cliff. Most employers don’t realize this issue may be impacting their own workforce. Join Leap Fund and the Center for Social Development on Tuesday, July 15 at 12:00 PM (eastern U.S.) to learn what benefits cliffs are, why they matter for business, and what employers, nonprofits, and advocates can do. This webinar includes a first look at Leap Fund’s new report highlighting 5 years of field work and employer insights, as well as research from the Center for Social Development on the effects of benefits cliffs in the financial lives of workers.
CSD’s research in this area is made possible through generous support from JPMorganChase.
