S 5370 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Improve and Enhance the Work Opportunity Tax Credit Act

This bill increases the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) for employers hiring from targeted groups like veterans, SNAP recipients, and long-term job seekers. It changes the credit to 50% of first-year wages up to $6,000, plus 50% of wages between $6,000 and $12,000 (for workers with at least 400 hours). The bill also raises wage limits for veterans (e.g., up to $24,000 for some) and removes an age cap for SNAP recipients, allowing all ages to qualify. These changes apply to workers hired after December 31, 2024.
