    What Is the Work Opportunity Tax Credit?

    The Work Opportunity Tax Credit, commonly known as WOTC, is a federal employment tax credit connected to hiring individuals from designated target groups. The opportunity begins with a new hire, but the credit is not automatic. Applicable screening, documentation, certification, wage, hour and tax requirements must be completed correctly. That process begins during hiring and onboarding. WOTC Plus places screening inside the new-hire workflow and manages applicable cases through the administrative process. Employers continue hiring and onboarding employees through their normal systems. WOTC Plus monitors the program, administers the workflow and provides organized results for applicable hires.

    Which New Hires May Create Work Opportunity Tax Credit Opportunities?

    WOTC eligibility is connected to federally designated target groups. WOTC Plus screens applicable new hires, identifies potential eligibility and manages qualifying cases through the required administrative process.

    Qualified IV-A or TANF Recipients

    Individuals from families that received qualifying Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits during an applicable period.

    Qualified Veterans

    Veterans who satisfy an applicable WOTC category involving unemployment, SNAP benefits or a service-connected disability.

    Qualified Ex-Felons

    Individuals hired within the applicable period following a qualifying felony conviction or release from incarceration.

    Designated Community Residents

    Qualifying individuals who live within an applicable empowerment zone or rural renewal county at the time of hiring.

    Vocational Rehabilitation Referrals

    Individuals referred to an employer during or after completing an applicable vocational rehabilitation program.

    Qualified Summer Youth Employees

    Qualifying youth who meet applicable age, residence and seasonal-employment requirements.

    Qualified SNAP Recipients

    Individuals whose families received qualifying Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits during an applicable period.

    Qualified SSI Recipients

    Individuals who received qualifying Supplemental Security Income benefits within the applicable period before hiring.

    Long-Term Family Assistance Recipients

    Individuals whose families received qualifying long-term public assistance under applicable program requirements.

    Qualified Long-Term Unemployment Recipients

    Individuals who experienced an applicable period of long-term unemployment and received unemployment compensation during part or all of that period.

    The Hiring Is Already Happening. The Credits May Be Slipping Away.

    Every new hire creates a limited period in which the employer must identify a potential Work Opportunity Tax Credit opportunity and complete the applicable process. HR teams are already managing onboarding documents, employment verification, payroll, benefits, company policies and employee training. When WOTC screening becomes another separate assignment, it can be delayed, completed inconsistently or forgotten. A candidate may never receive the screening questions. A response may remain incomplete. Applicable documentation may not be collected. A deadline may pass. A state workforce agency may request additional information without anyone following the case through completion. For employers with frequent hiring, multiple locations or high turnover, these are recurring losses of potential tax-credit opportunities. WOTC Plus removes that workload from the employer’s internal team and administers the process from beginning to end.

    Everything Required to Move a WOTC Opportunity Forward

    WOTC Plus combines automated technology with complete in-house administration. Employers receive one continuous process instead of separate software, manual spreadsheets and unfinished agency follow-up.
