Military Spouse Hiring Act

This bill lets employers get a tax break when they hire someone who is married to a member of the military. It does this by adding military spouses to an existing program called the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, which already gives employers tax credits for hiring people from certain groups, like veterans and people who have been unemployed for a long time. To qualify, the person being hired must be confirmed by a state workforce agency as being the spouse of a military member at the time they are hired.
