Employers would get a tax credit for hiring veterans using education benefits.
This bill would give businesses a tax credit for hiring veterans who are using their education benefits from the VA or Department of Defense. It would also remove a minimum work time requirement for employers to get this credit for these specific hires. This aims to help student veterans find jobs.
Today, employers generally cannot claim the Work Opportunity Tax Credit for hiring veterans who are using specific educational assistance from the VA or Department of Defense, and they must meet a minimum employment period for all qualified veterans to claim the credit. After this bill, employers would be able to claim this tax credit for hiring these specific student veterans and would not have to meet the minimum employment period for these hires.
