The Military Spouse Employment Act is a bill seeks to incentivize employers to hire military spouses by providing an income tax credit.

The act is designed to address the employment challenges that military spouses often face due to frequent relocations and deployments. Military spouses may find it difficult to establish and maintain a career due to the demands of military life, and the act aims to help alleviate some of these challenges by providing a financial incentive for employers to hire military spouses.

This bill was introduced in 2021 in the United States House of Representatives by Representative John Carter, a Republican from Texas.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

“America’s talented military spouses consistently make enormous sacrifices for our freedoms, safety, and security that often go overlooked. One such sacrifice includes moving from one assignment to the next, making it difficult to secure employment and increasing employers’ barriers to hiring them.

Veterans Guardian applauds U.S. Senators Kaine, Boozman, Hassan, & Rounds for introducing the Military Spouse Hiring Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation that will play a vital role in expanding employment opportunities for military spouses. This legislation will amend the tax code to incentivize businesses to hire military spouses, enhancing local economies and communities around the country. We owe it to our men and women in the military to remove any barriers preventing them from achieving their financial goals; it is the least we can do to honor their service to our country.”
