AGC joined a multi-industry letter urging Congress to pass the Improve and Enhance the Work Opportunity Tax Credit Act (S. 3265 / H.R. 6231)(WOTC). The bill would extend WOTC for five years, increase the credit, and add eligible individuals for the credit. WOTC has long helped employers hire individuals facing barriers to employment, including veterans, military spouses, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients, individuals with disabilities, and second-chance workers. With WOTC set to expire at year’s end, the letter highlights the risk to employers and workers. AGC will continue supporting efforts to seek WOTC program renewal.
