DescriptionResearch conducted by the National Center for Children in Poverty has found that the programs created to assist people in poverty can also trap them as they try to become self-sufficient. Called the “cliff effect,” the phenomenon occurs when individuals in poverty find their work support benefits reduced if their income increases. In this issue brief, we use the Family Resource Simulator to examine what these cliffs look like in Delaware and give recommendations for how to tweak the system so that work does pay.en_US
