Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to make employers of spouses of military personnel eligible for the work opportunity credit.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the Internal Revenue Code to expand the Work Opportunity Credit (a tax credit employers can claim for hiring individuals from certain targeted groups) to include spouses of military personnel. Specifically, the bill adds "qualified military spouse" as a new category of workers eligible for this tax credit. A qualified military spouse is defined as an individual who is certified by a local agency as being the spouse of an active member of the United States Armed Forces at the time of hiring. The amendments will apply to payments made or amounts incurred for new hires after the bill's enactment date. This legislation aims to provide an economic incentive for employers to hire military spouses, who often face employment challenges due to frequent relocations and the unique demands of military life. By offering employers a tax credit for hiring these spouses, the bill seeks to improve employment opportunities and financial stability for military families.
