Understanding WOTC’s Target Groups: Long-Term Family Assistance Recipient

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 #10 is the Long-Term Family Assistance Recipient Recipient. 73,569 individuals were hired with certification from this group in 2021, 3.53% of the total.
A “long-term family assistance recipient” is an individual who, at the time of hiring, is a member of a family that meet one of the following conditions:
  • Received assistance under an IV-A program for a minimum of the prior 18 consecutive months
  • Received assistance under an IV-A program for a minimum 18-month period beginning after 8/5/1997 and it has not been more than 2 years since the end of the earliest of such 18-month period or
  • Ceased to be eligible for assistance under an IV-A program because a federal or state law limited the maximum time those payments could be made, and it has been not more than 2 years since the cessation of such assistance

The maximum tax credit available for hiring a Long-Term Family Assistance Recipient is $9,000 taken over two years. ($4,000 in first year/40% of $10,000 and $5,000 in second year/50% of $10,000.) California hired the most Long-Term Family Assistance Recipients last year with 13,106 new hires qualifying under that target group.
