Businesses would get bigger tax breaks for hiring veterans, military spouses, and other workers.
This bill would make it easier and more rewarding for businesses to hire certain groups of people. It extends a tax credit, makes it more valuable, and adds military spouses to the list of workers who qualify for the credit. This means more job opportunities for those groups and financial help for employers.
Today, the Work Opportunity Tax Credit is set to expire on December 31, 2025, and offers a general credit of 40 percent of qualified first-year wages up to $6,000. It does not adjust for inflation, and spouses of military personnel or SNAP recipients age 40 and older are not eligible. After this bill, the credit would be extended until December 31, 2030, offer up to 50 percent of qualified first-year wages up to $12,000 for some workers, adjust for inflation, and include military spouses and older SNAP recipients as eligible groups.
