How Employers Are Tackling Mobility Blockers in Public Benefit Programs
Employers provide both wages and benefits essential for worker financial well-being. For millions of workers also receiving public benefits, rules within those programs determine whether these employer-provided resources carry reward or risk. Policies, for example, like asset limits penalize saving, while benefit cliffs create a precipitous loss of benefits when wages increase, blocking workers’ financial mobility.
What actionable strategies can employers and lawmakers leverage to address these asset limits and benefit cliffs? How can private sector employers support their employees’ financial resilience across public and private systems?
To find out, join the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program for a virtual public event on May 22 at 1:00 p.m. ET. Co-hosted by the Center for Social Development and the National Academy of Social Insurance, this event will elevate leadership, research, and innovations that can help workers meaningfully benefit from the range of resources available to them.
