A RESOLUTION urging the federal government to provide states with increased flexibility to design and test innovative approaches that reduce barriers to employment and promote economic self-sufficiency among individuals and families receiving public assistance.

Summary

The resolution asks the U.S. Congress and federal agencies to expand waivers, pilot projects, and reporting flexibility for public‑assistance programs so states can better help recipients move into work. It is aimed at individuals and families receiving aid, seeking to prevent sudden loss of benefits when earnings increase and to promote long‑term economic self‑sufficiency. The measure reflects concerns that current federal rules create “benefits cliffs” that discourage wage growth.
