Bill Would Ease Tax Credit for Hiring Vets

Legislation that would expand tax incentives to encourage businesses to hire recently discharged veterans was unveiled by Senators Max Baucus and Charles Grassley of the Senate Finance Committee. In a joint statement, the two senators stated that their bill would require the Defense Department to “educate” separating Servicemembers on how tax credits could be used by potential employers who hire them. Also, people leaving the military would receive discharge paperwork showing that, for 180 days from separation, a business that hires them could get the tax credit.
