Bill overview
The Helping to Encourage Real Opportunities (HERO) for Youth Act of 2025 modifies the Work Opportunity Tax Credit to provide greater support for young workers. Specifically, it expands the credit to cover year-round employment for youth attending secondary school during the summer months and increases the credit amount. The bill also defines ‘disconnected youth’ more broadly, including individuals who haven’t attended school or worked in the past six months, and eligible foster children. These changes aim to incentivize employers to hire young people facing barriers to employment.
