Understanding WOTC’s Target Groups: Qualified Veteran

Work Opportunity Tax Credit WOTC Target Groups

New hires who fall under one or more of WOTC’s Target Groups may make you eligible for a WOTC Tax Credit. Target Group #3 is the Qualified Veteran. 101,806 individuals were hired with certification from this group in 2021, 4.89% of the total, making it the third overall certified category.

A “qualified veteran” is a veteran who is any of the following:

    • A member of a family receiving assistance under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (food stamps) for at least 3 months during the first 15 months of employment.
    • Unemployed for a period totaling at least 4 weeks (whether or not consecutive) but less than 6 months in the 1-year period ending on the hiring date.
    • Unemployed for a period totaling at least 6 months (whether or not consecutive) in the 1-year period ending on the hiring date.
    • A disabled veteran entitled to compensation for a service-connected disability hired not more than one year after being discharged or released from active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces.
    • A disabled veteran entitled to compensation for a service-connected disability who is unemployed for a period totaling at least six months (whether or not consecutive) in the one-year period ending on the hiring date.

The maximum tax credit available for hiring a Qualified Veteran is $9,600. The actual amount will vary depending on the qualifying target group.
