Yup. It’s called the “welfare (or benefits) cliff”. It tends to happen at the lower end and the. Again at the upper middle end. There are quite a few tax breaks in the US you can’t take once you pass an AGI of $160-175K. Depending on if you were taking them, a raise could technically result in less net income.

Don't forget at that level you're also approaching the SSI cap (168k for 2024), which more than offsets losing those other breaks.
