| What is it? The Work Opportunity Tax Credit is a federal credit that encourages employers to hire and retain targeted groups of job seekers. What do I get? If you are an employer, you can receive up to $9,000 for each individual you hire from targeted groups of job-seekers. If you are a job-seeker, you may gain an advantage in your job search by informing potential employers that you are a member of a targeted group. How long do I get it? Employers can receive the tax credit for one or two years, depending on the individual hired and their continued employment. |

| If you are an employer and hire an individual from a designated “long term Family Assistance recipient,” then your credit of $9,000 will be split between two years, as long as the individual continues to work for you. | ||
