Understanding WOTC’s Target Groups: Long-Term Unemployment 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 Unemployment Recipient.

233,160 individuals were hired with certification from this group in 2021, 11.20% of the total.

A “qualified long-term unemployment recipient” is an individual who has been unemployed for not less than 27 consecutive weeks at the time of hiring and who received unemployment compensation during some or all of the unemployment period. 

The maximum tax credit available for hiring a Long-Term Unemployment Recipient is $2,400.

Texas hired the most Long-Term Unemployment Recipients last year with 55,699 new hires qualifying under that target group.
