Cultivating Opportunity and Recovery from the Pandemic through Service Act or the CORPS Act
This bill makes several changes to AmeriCorps programs during the COVID-19 health emergency. Specifically, the bill:
- increases living allowance payments to program participants;
- increases educational awards for program participants;
- relaxes program requirements, including reducing the age requirement for AmeriCorps Seniors to 45 and older;
- creates a pilot program to allow state commissions to directly place individuals in approved AmeriCorps programs; and
- allows for targeted AmeriCorps grants to fund recovery projects in communities disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
The bill also excludes AmeriCorps living allowance payments and educational awards from taxable income for program participants.
Referred to the Committee on Education and Labor, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
