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.

You will gain insight into the financial realities facing direct care workers\, learn how benefits cliffs can undermine wage growth\, and explore strategies and policy approaches that can help create a more stable and sustainable care workforce. \nRegister here: LeadingAge Virginia \nFollowing this session\, you will be able to: \n\nDefine the concept of a benefits cliff and explain how it impacts the financial stability of direct care workers.\nInterpret key findings from the recent study conducted by LeadingAge Virginia\, PositiveAge\, a LeadingAge Virginia Foundation\, and PHI\, including examples of how small wage increases can result in disproportionate losses of public benefits.\nAnalyze the broader implications of benefits cliffs on workforce recruitment\, retention\, and advancement within aging services.\nIdentify potential strategies and policy approaches to mitigate the efforts of benefits cliffs and support a more stable direct care workforce.\n\nAbout the presenters:\nBetsy Archer\nExecutive Director \nPositiveAge\, a LeadingAge Virginia Foundation \nLearn more about Betsy and connect with her on LinkedIn. \n  \nRandi Hamill\, MSW\nDirector of Workforce Development Initiatives \nLeadingAge Ohio \nLearn more about Randi and connect with her on LinkedIn. \nThere are NO Ceu’s for this event
