WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenThis bill matters to voters because it directly impacts job creation and support for individuals who often face barriers to employment. Extending the Work Opportunity Tax Credit gives businesses a continued financial incentive to hire people from specific groups, potentially boosting employment for those who need it most. By adding individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance to the list of eligible hires, the bill specifically targets a population that might struggle to find work due to perceptions about their abilities or needs.
If this bill becomes law, businesses will have five more years of tax savings for hiring certain workers, which could lead to more job opportunities for disadvantaged groups, including those with disabilities. If it doesn't pass, the tax credit will expire at the end of 2025, removing a financial incentive for employers and potentially making it harder for these populations to find jobs.
KEY PROVISIONS
3AI-extractedPROVISION 01
Extends the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2030.
This continues a valuable tax incentive for businesses to hire from targeted disadvantaged groups for an additional five years.
PROVISION 02
Adds 'qualified social security disability insurance beneficiary' as a new targeted group for the WOTC.
This specifically incentivizes employers to hire individuals receiving SSDI benefits, expanding employment opportunities for this population.
PROVISION 03
Defines a 'qualified social security disability insurance beneficiary' as someone certified by a local agency as being entitled to SSDI benefits within 60 days of their hiring date.
This provides a clear guideline for employers and agencies to determine who qualifies for the new tax credit.
