Tax Credit Programs

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and Welfare-to-Work Tax Credits (WtW) are federal tax incentives designed

to encourage employers to hire from nine groups of job seekers to move them from welfare to work and gain on-the-job experience and skills.

The consolidated WOTC can be worth as much as:

· $2,400 for each new adult hire

· $1,200 for each new summer youth hire
