Incentives to hire veterans

Businesses can earn federal tax credits when they hire unemployed veterans through the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit program.

The amount of the credit varies from $2,400 to $9,600, based on the length of your unemployment and whether you have a service-related disability.

Contact a veterans specialist at your local WorkSource employment center to learn more about this hiring incentive and how you can use it to market yourself to prospective employers.
