Employers would get tax breaks for hiring people with disabilities for five more years.
The HIRE Act would extend a tax credit for businesses that hire people from certain groups, including veterans and long-term unemployed individuals. It would also expand this credit to include employers who hire people receiving Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. This aims to encourage more job opportunities for people with disabilities.
Today, the Work Opportunity Tax Credit is set to end on December 31, 2025, and does not apply to hiring Social Security Disability Insurance beneficiaries. If this bill passes, the credit would continue until December 31, 2030, and employers would also get the credit for hiring qualified Social Security Disability Insurance beneficiaries starting after December 31, 2025.
