Benefits shouldn't have this cliff where you lose them if you start doing too well.

It's an poverty/low income trap. If you're on disability/welfare you should still be incentived and rewarded for making money outside of your government payment.

It could be a constant thing like UBI or a gradual reduction like income tax brackets where more money earned is always more money in your pocket.

Negative income tax is the term for what I believe you're referring to.
