Utah's Legislature and Governor jointly urge Congress and the President to give states more control over federally funded safety net programs — such as food assistance, Medicaid, and cash assistance — by approving waivers faster, converting more programs to block grants (lump-sum funding states can spend with fewer federal strings attached), and reducing federal reporting requirements. The resolution points to survey research suggesting many Utahns receiving public assistance avoid earning more income out of fear that a raise will cause them to lose benefits worth more than the pay increase — a dynamic known as the "benefits cliff."
