WOTC In the News: ‘Build Back Better Act’ Passes in the House

vane-ssa16@live.com

Huge news, the Build Back Better Act has passed in the House. It now heads to the Senate. Build Back Better includes provisions for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit that would increase the credit amount from $2,400 to $5,000 per qualified individual. In addition, it would allow for rehires to qualify for WOTC during the COVID-19 recovery period through the end of 2022. CMS will be watching this closely, and will alert our customers and partners of any updates as they occur.
