With legislation signed by the President in 2007, the WOTC program has been extended through August 31, 2011.This Act, and the
<em>
Tax-Relief and Health Care Act of 2006
</em>
(P. L. 109-432) amend certain target group definitions, introduce new provisions that expand and streamline the WOTC Program, and make it easier for the business sector to participate. For example, P.L. 109-432 eliminated the Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit (WtWTC) by merging it into the WOTC and making the
<em>
Long-term TANF Recipient
</em>
another WOTC target group.

All new adult employees must work a minimum of 120 or 400 hours. Individuals hired as Summer Youth employees must work at least 90 days, between May 1 and September 15, before an employer is eligible to claim the tax credit. The WOTC amount an employer may claim depends on the hours the employee works. The credit is 25% of qualified first-year wages for those employed at least 120 hours but fewer than 400 hours and 40% for those employed 400 hours or more.
