What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Helping Individuals Rejoin Employment Act" or the "HIRE Act," aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It seeks to extend the existing work opportunity credit through December 31, 2030. Additionally, the bill proposes making employers eligible for the credit when they hire social security disability insurance beneficiaries. This includes individuals certified by a designated local agency as entitled to benefits under title II of the Social Security Act. These changes would apply to individuals starting work after December 31, 2025.
