Bill overview
The Upward Mobility Act of 2026 aims to help states improve economic opportunities for low-income individuals by establishing a pilot program. States can apply for grants to test innovative approaches to antipoverty programs, focusing on reducing benefit cliffs and increasing employment outcomes. The program will provide funding to states based on their existing federal assistance programs and prioritize strategies that lead to improved employment and earnings for participants. The pilot program will be limited to a maximum of five states and will run for a five-year period.
