This bill, the Hire Student Veterans Act, modifies the Work Opportunity Tax Credit to encourage employers to hire student veterans.

The bill also adjusts the minimum employment period required for claiming the tax credit for these veterans. It aims to support veterans transitioning to civilian employment by providing financial incentives to employers.
