Bill overview
The Disability Employment Incentive Act aims to encourage employers to hire and retain people with disabilities by expanding existing tax credits and deductions. Specifically, it increases the Work Opportunity Tax Credit for individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, vocational rehabilitation referrals, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients. The bill also boosts the amount of eligible expenses for the disabled access credit and expands the deduction for removing architectural and transportation barriers to accessibility for people with disabilities, including improvements to internet and telecommunications services.
