The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6811, aims to establish a pilot program designed to mitigate the "benefits cliff" in public benefit programs. This initiative will be implemented by the Department of Social Services and the Office of Early Childhood, in collaboration with various state departments including Labor, Housing, and the Office of Workforce Strategy. The program's framework will be guided by recommendations from a report produced under special act 24-8.

The bill introduces new legal language that mandates the creation of this pilot program, while there are no deletions from current law specified in the text. The overall purpose of the bill is to address the challenges faced by individuals transitioning out of public assistance programs, ensuring that they do not experience a sudden loss of benefits that could hinder their economic stability.
