Tax credit for hiring military spouses
If enacted, employers could claim the Work Opportunity Tax Credit for hiring a certified military spouse. The spouse would need certification from the local agency showing they are a service member’s spouse on the hire date. The credit would apply only to people who start work after enactment and to wages paid after that date. This bill would not change WOTC credit rates or caps.
