WORK ALWAYS PAYS ACT

Summary

The Work Always Pays Act caps reductions in state‑administered benefits at half the amount of any increase in a household’s earned income. If a household’s total resources still fall after the cut, it receives a bridge credit for up to six months. The law also adds a 90‑day earnings buffer during which benefits stay at pre‑increase levels.
