Military Spouse Hiring Act – US House Sponsorship Changes Hands

Tuesday, 14 June 2022 by Vaughn Hromiko

In a press release today, U.S. Representative Don Beyer (D, VA) announced he has assumed primary sponsorship of the Military Spouse Hiring Act.  Former Representative Antonio Delgado (D, NY) introduced the current version of the bill but has now left the House of Representatives to serve as New York’s Lieutenant Governor.

Read the press release here.

The Military Spouse Hiring Act proposes an expansion of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit or WOTC. This bill would expand WOTC by adding a new target group known simply as “Qualified Military Spouse.”

To qualify, an eligible employee must (in the usual way) be “certified . . . as being (as of the hiring date) a spouse of a member of the Armed Forces of the United States.”

The bill does not address the meaning of “spouse,” but this term generally means an individual who is lawfully married. If passed, it will create the first WOTC target group to specifically benefit active military families.

This new target group would provide a $2,400 tax credit.

It’s called the Military Spouse Hiring Act (H.R.2318). If passed, military spouses would become the newest Target Group for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC).
Congresswoman Carol Shea-Portal (D, NH) introduced this simple proposal to the House Committee on Ways and Means on May 3 of this year.
When I stumbled across this bill today, I felt embarrassed at first. How could I have overlooked it?  Then I dug a little deeper. (more…)
