Plain-English summary
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.
