Support H.R. 3652 making work opportunity tax credit permanent. Support permanent work opportunity tax credit, Empowerment Zone Tax Credit, and Indian Employment Tax Credit in pending Ways and Means and Finance Committee tax bills. Support repeal of so much of Section 59, Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax, as pertains to WOTC. See also recommendations to Congress for important program improvements under "Labor Issues."

Support eligibility for the work opportunity tax credit for the following categories of people with disabilities: recipients of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) cash assistance; recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cash assistance; and persons referred to an eligible employer by a public Vocational Rehabilitation Agency or Employment Network established under the Social Security Act. Support increase in WOTC benefit for the above to encourage more hiring of people with disabilities, which reduces cash payouts for SSDI and other programs.

The primary aim of the work opportunity tax credit is to increase opportunity, income mobility, and advancement of "structurally unemployed" populations who bear actual or perceived limitations that disadvantage them, relative to non-disadvantaged workers, when seeking employment in the private sector. Much evidence-based research finds WOTC to be the most cost-effective federal program for reducing welfare and poverty by expanding job opportunity via a modest and limited financial incentive to employers who hire the most seriously disadvantaged workers for productive, tax-paying jobs in the private sector and pay all compensation costs for these workers other than the capped WOTC credit. WOTC is critical to sustaining workforce attachment for those with highest rates of poverty and welfare costs because steady work supports further education and household formation which are known to yield wage gains and income mobility over time.

Support H.R. 3652 making permanent the work opportunity tax credit (WOTC) including VOW To Hire Heroes Act veterans employment tax credits. Support permanent WOTC in pending Ways and Means and Finance Committee bills, including increased benefit for disabled and Iraq-Afgan era veterans, and eligibility for dependents of active duty service members. Oppose so much of Section 59 Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax as pertains to WOTC.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit supports public economic development via a modest and capped financial incentive to employers who hire workers in high-poverty areas including empowerment zones and more than 300 federally-designated rural renewal counties where economic development is lagging. With passage in HR 1 of state-designated opportunity zones in major urban areas of high poverty, we support authorizing the work opportunity tax credit for new hires of those who live and work in such zones, both to expand job opportunity and to spark immediate momentum for economic development through hiring of WOTC-eligible workers, which is essential since private investment will take time to make an impact on the zones.

Research has established that young men and women in foster care who reach the age of 18 and exit foster care suffer severe hardships in connecting to communities and the workforce, with consequent barriers to supporting themselves. We support allowing employers to claim the work opportunity tax credit for a new target group, "transitioning foster youth," as an incentive to giving special consideration to these youth when they apply for employment.

State, Local, and Tribal governments' welfare, disability, employment, and economic development services rely on the work opportunity tax credit as an incentive for hiring an eligible worker receiving public assistance or deserving of special consideration in hiring, such as veterans, people with disabilities, ex-felons exiting confinement, disconnected youth, long-term unemployed, and unemployed workers applying for work in empowerment zones or in opportunity zones established under HR 1, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or in more than 300 designated distressed rural counties. Also support existing Empowerment Zone tax credit for individuals residing in empowerment zones. We support permanent continuation of WOTC, Empowerment Zone, Opportunity Zone, and Indian Employment tax credits as job development and placement tools for government agencies who are on the firing line working to train and place these populations into good jobs.

Congress has allowed the Indian Employment Tax Credit to expire, yet Native Americans have such high rates of unemployment and low earnings, both on and off the reservation, that large numbers continue to require public assistance to survive. We support allowing the work opportunity tax credit to eligible employers who hire Native Americans receiving any form of needs-based public or tribal assistance eligible to cover workers whose families live on reservations but sometimes travel long distances to find jobs off reservations. The meaning of "eligible employers" follows policy set by Congress in the now-expired Indian Employment Tax Credit, that is, gambling casinos owned, controlled, or operated by a tribe or tribes are not eligible.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit supports public economic development via a modest and capped financial incentive to employers who hire workers in high-poverty areas including empowerment zones and more than 300 federally-designated rural renewal counties where economic development is lagging. With passage in HR 1 of state-designated opportunity zones in major urban areas of high poverty, we support authorizing the work opportunity tax credit for new hires of those who live and work in such zones, both to expand job opportunity and to spark immediate momentum for economic development through hiring of WOTC-eligible workers, which is essential since private investment will take time to make an impact on the zones.

Support permanent eligibility for the work opportunity tax credit for persons receiving the following types of public assistance: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) also known as Food Stamps, Social Security Disability Insurance cash assistance, and Supplemental Security Income for the aged, blind, and disabled (SSI). Support increased availability of good jobs for WOTC-eligible workers by making private non-profit organizations eligible for WOTC.

Support H.R. 3652 making permanent the work opportunity tax credit (WOTC) including VOW To Hire Heroes Act veterans employment tax credits. Support permanent WOTC in pending Ways and Means and Finance Committee bills, including increased benefit for disabled and Iraq-Afgan era veterans, and eligibility for dependents of active duty service members. Oppose so much of Section 59 Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax as pertains to WOTC.

State, Local, and Tribal governments' welfare, disability, employment, and economic development services rely on the work opportunity tax credit as an incentive for hiring an eligible worker receiving public assistance or deserving of special consideration in hiring, such as veterans, people with disabilities, ex-felons exiting confinement, disconnected youth, long-term unemployed, and unemployed workers applying for work in empowerment zones or in opportunity zones established under HR 1, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or in more than 300 designated distressed rural counties. Also support existing Empowerment Zone tax credit for individuals residing in empowerment zones. We support permanent continuation of WOTC, Empowerment Zone, Opportunity Zone, and Indian Employment tax credits as job development and placement tools for government agencies who are on the firing line working to train and place these populations into good jobs.

The primary aim of the work opportunity tax credit is to increase opportunity, income mobility, and advancement of "structurally unemployed" populations who bear actual or perceived limitations that disadvantage them, relative to non-disadvantaged workers, when seeking employment in the private sector. Much evidence-based research finds WOTC to be the most cost-effective federal program for reducing welfare and poverty by expanding job opportunity via a modest and limited financial incentive to employers who hire the most seriously disadvantaged workers for productive, tax-paying jobs in the private sector and pay all compensation costs for these workers other than the capped WOTC credit. WOTC is critical to sustaining workforce attachment for those with highest rates of poverty and welfare costs because steady work supports further education and household formation which are known to yield wage gains and income mobility over time.

Support appropriations to administer work opportunity tax credit for fiscal years 2019-2026. Support H.R. 3652 to make the work opportunity tax credit (WOTC) permanent. Expand WOTC eligibility to private non-profit employers and to the following additional categories of workers: spouses of active duty military; transitioning foster youth; new hires in opportunity zones; disconnected youth; food stamp recipients without age limitation; Native Americans receiving any form of means-tested public assistance; and people with disabilities receiving cash Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments. Increase WOTC benefit amounts for people with disabilities, Iran/Iraq veterans, and dependents of active duty military personnel. Expand WOTC job opportunities by allowing WOTC to be claimed against FICA tax (with Treasury reimbursement to Social Security trust funds, the cost to the Federal government is the same as if taken against income tax), and open up more health and education jobs by authorizing WOTC for private non-profit organizations.

Support eligibility for the work opportunity tax credit for the following categories of people with disabilities: recipients of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) cash assistance; recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cash assistance; and persons referred to an eligible employer by a public Vocational Rehabilitation Agency or Employment Network established under the Social Security Act. Support increase in WOTC benefit for the above to encourage more hiring of people with disabilities, which reduces cash payouts for SSDI and other programs.

Research has established that young men and women in foster care who reach the age of 18 and exit foster care suffer severe hardships in connecting to communities and the workforce, with consequent barriers to supporting themselves. We support allowing employers to claim the work opportunity tax credit for a new target group, "transitioning foster youth," as an incentive to giving special consideration to these youth when they apply for employment.

State and Local governments welfare, disability, employment, and economic development services rely on the work opportunity tax credit as an incentive for hiring an eligible worker receiving public assistance or deserving of special consideration in hiring, such as veterans, people with disabilities, ex-felons exiting confinement, disconnected youth, long-term unemployed, and unemployed workers applying for work in empowerment zones or in opportunity zones established under HR 1, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or in more than 300 designated distressed rural counties.

The primary aim of the work opportunity tax credit is to increase opportunity, income mobility, and advancement of "structurally unemployed" populations who bear an actual or perceived quality that disadvantages them, relative to non-disadvantaged workers, when seeking employment in the private sector. Much evidence-based research finds WOTC to be the most cost-effective federal program for limiting welfare and poverty and expanding job opportunity via a modest and limited financial incentive to employers who hire the most seriously disadvantaged workers for productive, tax-paying jobs in the private sector and pay all compensation costs except the limited tax credit. WOTC is critical to limiting unemployment of those with the highest rates of unemployment and welfare costs, thus we supported making the jobs credit permanent in HR 1 and will continue supporting this goal in future tax legislation.

Support eligibility for the work opportunity tax credit for the following categories of people with disabilities: recipients of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) cash assistance, recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cash assistance; and persons referred to an eligible employer by a public Vocational Rehabilitation Agency or Employment Network established under the Social Security Act.

Revise US Code sections 59A, 59B, 4491, 6038 A, C, and E establishing "base erosion anti-abuse tax" to relieve corporations covered by the tax from nullifying the effect of tax credits and deductions enacted by Congress as incentives toward important national goals. An example is the work opportunity tax credit, a hiring incentive for veterans, people with disabilities, welfare recipients, long-term unemployed workers, and others facing significant disadvantages in the labor market. BEAT can offset up to 100 percent of an employer's WOTC credits, causing the employer to withdraw from hiring targeted workers and contributing to a poverty-level, stagnant, underclass.
