flag Sen. Jon Husted's Upward Mobility Act launches a 5-state pilot to simplify anti-poverty aid and prevent loss of benefits when families earn more.

flag The Upward Mobility Act, introduced by Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, proposes a five-year pilot program in five states to consolidate federal anti-poverty funding into a single stream, aiming to help working families avoid the "benefits cliff" where small income gains trigger sudden loss of critical assistance. flag The initiative seeks to reduce bureaucracy, allow states to use savings and private resources to support economic advancement, and maintain access to childcare, housing, and healthcare during career progress. flag If successful, the model could expand nationwide.
