CONCORD — The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Economic and Housing Stability and New Hampshire Employment Security have completed an economic analysis that will provide a framework for reducing the impact of the benefits Cliff Effect on New Hampshire families.

The Cliff Effect occurs when new or increased wages lead to an immediate loss or reduction of public assistance, but the increased income does not fully compensate for the loss of these benefits.
