The latest news from the WOTC Coalition

Yesterday, Finance Committee Chairman Senator Ron Wyden said his committee would hold a markup of a tax extenders bill the week of March 31st, date to be announced. Senator Wyden told Committee members in a memo that he’s determined this would be the last temporary extension:

“I’m determined that this is the last time we do extenders and would like to leverage this last extension to reform the broken tax code.”

Thus the chairman of both tax-writing committees, Senator Wyden and Congressman Camp, are moving in the same direction, for an up or down vote on each extender to be included in a reformed tax code.

We will keep you informed on any further developments as we know them, and if you have immediate questions please contact us at info@wotcsolutions.com.

Law Update

The WOTC law is once again in temporary hiatus as of January 1, 2014. WOTC Solutions continues to lobby on all of our clients’ behalf to stress the importance of timely renewal and the benefit this law provides to employers across the United States. All WOTC offices continue to process applications with a hiring date on or before December 31, 2013.
