Bill overview
The BRIDGE Act extends and expands the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), a tax credit available to employers who hire individuals facing barriers to employment. This legislation primarily broadens the definition of who qualifies for the credit to include individuals with felony convictions and out-of-school youth. It also includes provisions for a study on the efficiency of the WOTC administrative process and requires the Treasury Secretary to provide guidance on its implementation.
