This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to expand the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) , making it available to employers who hire veterans receiving specific educational assistance. The expansion includes veterans attending an educational institution through benefits provided under chapters 30, 31, 32, 33, or 34 of Title 38, United States Code, or chapters 1606 or 1607 of Title 10, United States Code. This aims to incentivize the employment of veterans who are actively pursuing education. Additionally, the legislation modifies the minimum employment period requirement for these newly eligible student veterans, potentially easing the conditions for employers to claim the credit. These amendments will apply to individuals who begin work for an employer after the bill's enactment date, encouraging the employment of veterans utilizing their educational benefits.
