Support The Military Spouse Hiring Act

Support Our Military Families - Support the Military Spouse Hiring Act

Military spouses bring talent, resilience, and experience to the workforce, but too often face barriers created by the demands of military life, including frequent relocations and licensing challenges across state lines. The result is persistently high unemployment and underemployment among military spouses—an issue that has drawn bipartisan concern for years.

The Military Spouse Hiring Act (H.R. 2033 & S. 1027) offers a practical, commonsense solution. By expanding the Work Opportunity Tax Credit to include military spouses, this bill provides employers with a meaningful incentive to hire and retain them, helping bridge the gap between a ready workforce and real opportunity.

Supporting military spouses is not just the right thing to do, it strengthens military families, improves economic stability, and supports the readiness and retention of our all-volunteer force. These are goals that transcend party lines. Ensuring military spouses have fair access to employment is a shared responsibility and a clear opportunity for bipartisan action in support of those who serve and the families who support them.
