Learn More:	The CLIFF Snapshot compares a client’s current financial situation to possible alternative scenarios. Counselors can help their clients better understand how an increase in wages, additional hours worked, and/or participation in public assistance programs may better position them for financial stability.	The CLIFF Dashboard details the long-term financial implications of a new career. The Dashboard shows income and public assistance over a 20-year-plus horizon. The Dashboard also includes a self-sufficiency target which identifies the estimated level at which workers’ after-tax income will position them to cover their basic expenses.	The CLIFF Planner helps clients when they’re ready to map out the details of their career move. With the Planner’s flexibility, counselors can work with their clients to build a customized education plan, career plan, and budget. The Planner produces a much more individualized financial portrait compared to the Dashboard.
