Nebraska LR171 proposes an interim study to examine the "cliff effect" on families receiving public assistance. The "cliff effect" refers to a situation where an increase in income, such as a raise or additional work hours, results in a disproportionate loss of public assistance benefits. This study will analyze how the cliff effect impacts workforce participation and long-term economic self-sufficiency. The Health and Human Services Committee will conduct the study and report findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or Legislature.
