Employing an Unemployed Veteran
If you are considering or have already hired an unemployed veteran, you may qualify for a special credit that the government has provided as an incentive to hire veterans. Here is the rundown.
The credit is 40% of first-year wages (but not exceeding $6,000), for a maximum credit of $2,400 (.4 × $6,000). A qualifying veteran is one who has been discharged or released from active duty in the Armed Forces at any time during the five-year period ending on the hiring date, and who receives unemployment compensation for no less than four weeks during the one-year period ending on the hiring date. The veteran must have served for more than 180 days or been released from service due to a service-connected disability. You will need to obtain certification from your state workforce agency.
Please call if you have additional questions.
