Many businesses have found individuals with disabilities to be a perfect fit for their needs. In addition to gaining valuable personnel, these businesses also qualify for a range of financial incentives

WOTC & WtW Tax Credits

Work Opportunity Tax Credit
WOTC is available to employers for hiring individuals from economically
disadvantaged backgrounds. Employers can receive a tax credit of up to $2,400
per individual hired. Many people with disabilities meet the criteria for WOTC,
including all recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and all clients of
state vocational rehabilitation agencies.

Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit
If a person with a disability is a recipient of Temporary Aid to Needy Families
(TANF) at the time of hire, the employer can receive a federal tax credit for up
$8,500 per individual hired.

Additional information on these tax credits can be obtained from the U.S.
