Remove welfare benefit cliffs

Lee’s proposed bill would eliminate benefit “cliffs” that can sharply reduce assistance as a recipient’s income rises, including after finding a better job or receiving a raise. The proposal is intended to make work and increased earnings less likely to trigger a loss of benefits.

Context: The passage does not describe how the bill would phase out benefits or which programs would be covered.
