Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Expands the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) so employers can claim the credit when they hire “displaced disaster victims.” To qualify, the new hire must have lived and worked in a federally declared disaster area before the disaster and been displaced by it, and the hire must be certified by a designated local or state agency.
The credit is available only for workers hired within one year after the disaster’s incident period. It applies beginning January 1, 2024, and otherwise follows existing WOTC rules and limits.
