Bill overview
This bill, the Military Spouse Hiring Act, aims to help employers hire military spouses by expanding eligibility for a tax credit. Specifically, it amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow employers who hire military spouses to qualify for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. The bill defines a ‘qualified military spouse’ as someone certified by a local agency as being a spouse of a member of the Armed Forces. The changes will take effect for hiring that occurs after the bill’s enactment date.
