Summary

Description
English: This example is intended to represent the effective marginal tax rate of a disabled single mother with two kids in Pennsylvania in 2012 who received all major welfare benefits, showing that she would need to make an extra $35,000 in income to make up for the lost benefits of the welfare cliffs. This situation should not be regarded as typical.
