Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) Program

This is a one year federal program which offers tax incentives for employers to hire individuals from certain targeted groups, for example,

  • low-income and/or welfare individuals

  • ex-felons

  • individuals with disabilities

  • veterans who have received food stamps

  • summer youth
  • Hiring workers from any of the targeted groups can earn an employer a WOTC of up to $2,400 for the first year of employment.

    The number of new hires who can qualify employers for these tax credits is unlimited.

    For more information, call 1-800-792-8881 or (609) 292-8112.
