29 The Cliff Effect Sample Programs and Income Eligibility for Low-Income Persons
30 The Cliff Effect-Analysis A household income of $10.30 an hour which is 100% of poverty indicates eligibility for all benefits listed in the table. An income greater than $13.39 an hour or 130% of poverty limits eligibility for subsidized benefits to persons whose income does not exceed that amount. For example, a person whose income is greater than 130% of poverty is eligible for Energy Assistance, WIC, and CHIP but not eligible for CSBG, Head Start, Medicaid or TANF.
31 The Cliff Effect-Analysis A wage of $10.30 an hour or an annual income of $20,090 qualifies a family of three for all programs since that income is at 100% of poverty. A person in a family of three with a minimum wage job at $7.25 an hour or an annual income of $14, is at 70% of poverty and also qualifies for all benefits. The minimum wage if adjusted for inflation would be $13/hour. As a person begins to increase their income, they potentially lose eligibility for benefits. A person working at $7.25 an hour or minimum wage in a three person household increasing their income by 38% to $10.00 an hour is still at 100% of poverty and qualifies for all benefits as listed in the previous slide. It would take an hourly income above $13.39 an hour which is an 85% increase above minimum wage to lose eligibility for many of the subsidized benefits.
32 The Cliff Effect-Analysis If a person earns an income above $13.39 an hour (without significant benefits) where they would lose eligibility for many of the subsidized programs, is the increase in income from a poverty wage of $10.30 an hour to $13.39 an hour or an annual increase in income of $6, worth the loss of benefits resulting from: National School Breakfast/Lunch Program/Free Meals Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Food Stamps) TANF Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) CAAs Head Start Medicaid
33 The Cliff Effect-Analysis Many clients are single female headed households with two children and their education and job experience are limited. We need to consider: How many clients are likely to get a minimum wage job at $7.25 an hour which is 70% of poverty? How many clients are likely to get a job paying $10.30 an hour which is at 100% of poverty? How many clients are likely to get a job paying $12.88 an hour (with significant benefits) which is at 125% of poverty and maintains eligibility for most subsidized benefits?
34 The Cliff Effect-Analysis How many clients are likely to get a job paying $20.61 an hour which is at 200% of poverty where eligibility is lost for many of the subsidized benefits? Is the dollar value of Medicaid, Head Start, TANF, Food Stamps, Energy Assistance, WIC, School Feeding Programs, Subsidized Child Care, and Housing Assistance for a family of three equal to or greater than the increased earning power from 74% to 150% or 200% of poverty? How many clients must have subsidized childcare in order to work? How many clients can afford non-subsidized
