Employers could get a tax credit for hiring military spouses

Employers could qualify for the work opportunity tax credit when hiring a certified military spouse. The provision covers employers hiring spouses of U.S. Armed Forces members. A designated local agency would need to certify that the person is married to a member of the U.S. Armed Forces on the hiring date. The provision would apply only to amounts paid or incurred after enactment for people who begin work for the employer after enactment.
