An informational webinar on the Illinois Tax Credit Increase offered to businesses hiring Formerly Incarcerated Individuals.
What is this?
The new Illinois law increases the tax credit for businesses that hire formerly incarcerated individuals from 5% to 15% of qualified wages. It also raises the ceiling for these incentives from $1,500 to $7,500. This funding helps transition formerly incarcerated individuals into the workforce and supports on-the-job training.
Why It's Important?
This legislation benefits the Illinois economy by reducing reincarceration costs and generating long-term tax revenue from formerly incarcerated individuals. It supports small businesses and enhances public safety, as employment lowers recidivism risk by 62%, aiding community reintegration and fostering safer communities.
