All About Benefit Cliffs

We created this site in early 2019, because we saw how much time it took to identify and understand this issue from multiple angles, and to get a broader understanding of the smart people and organizations that have been working in the space well before us. The goal of this site is to create a solid base to equip folks to quickly find metrics, studies, and data, as well as understand the policy ramifications, of benefits cliffs.

Why should you trust us? We’re obsessed with benefits cliffs, and we push for policy change, including testifying to Congress about the importance of fixing the benefits cliff issue, we’ve been interviewed by The Counter, and even this site you’re reading right now has been name-checked by the NYTimes. Are you a journalist who’d like to learn more / talk to us? Don’t be shy.

This site is a project of Leap Fund, created by Karen Schoellkopf, July 2019, last updated May 2024. Special thanks for design support from Emma Berger, Daniel Cowden and Davina Johnson at the University of the Arts, Philadelphia.
