 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow employers a work opportunity tax credit for hiring a 99er (defined by this Act as an individual who has exhausted all rights to emergency unemployment compensation under the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008 during the period beginning on December 1, 2007, and ending on the individual's hiring date). Reduces the amount of such credit (40% to 25%) for employees who remain employed for 120 hours, but less than 400 hours, and in the second year of employment.
