To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to extend the work opportunity credit and to make employers of social security disability insurance beneficiaries eligible for such credit, and for other purposes.
Summary
The bill extends the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, which provides tax credits to employers who hire members of certain targeted groups, from its current expiration date of December 31, 2025 through December 31, 2030. The bill adds Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries as a new category of workers eligible for the credit, specifically those who are certified as receiving disability insurance benefits under the Social Security Act within the 60 days before being hired. Employers who hire qualified SSDI beneficiaries after December 31, 2025 will be able to claim the work opportunity tax credit for these new hires.
