Many Ohioans face what's known as benefits cliffs - where a small increase in wages causes them to lose access to public benefits (e.g., SNAP, PFCC) that puts them further behind than if they did not have an increase in wages. The Ohio Workforce Coalition is a founding member of Economic Mobility Alliance Ohio, an alliance of organizations across the state advocating solutions to mitigate and eliminate benefits cliffs, reduce disincentives to work, and create a more seamless pathway to economic stability for all Ohioans. March's webinar features three speakers tackling benefits cliffs from different perspectives: -Sarah Hudacek, Coalition Manager of Advocate's for Ohio's Future and Economic Mobility Alliance Ohio, will provide an overview of benefits cliffs and key policy issues facing Ohioans. -Travis Speice, Applied Research Director at The Women's Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, will introduce the Self-Sufficiency Simulator. This tool is designed to help advocates, employers, policymakers, and others understand what is means to be economically stable in Ohio today. -Brian Dicken, VP of Advocacy and Strategic Initiatives at the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce, will address why the Chambers and businesses should care about benefits cliffs, and what they are doing to address cliffs. Please join us and invite your colleagues!
