In Missouri of all places. Color me surprised. This sounds like a good idea.

I've argued that benefits should be structured to reward raises/earning more. Every dollar earned should reduce benefits by at most $0.95 for any income-driven programs. The last 5% could be considered an investment towards lifting people out of poverty.
Good to hear Missouri considering a similar approach. Apparently Indiana and Utah have already implemented these transitional benefits programs successfully.
