SUMMARY:Tipping Point: Exploring the Risks of Benefits Cliffs Among Direct Care Workers - Free Learning Event
DESCRIPTION:About the session: \nWage increases should move workers forward\, but for many in the direct care workforce\, they can instead trigger sudden losses in public benefits\, leaving them financially worse off.
