VOW to Hire Heroes Act

On November 21, 2011, President Obama signed into law the Vow to Hire Heroes Act of 2011. Section 261 of the Act, the "Returning Heroes and Wounded Warriors Work Opportunity Tax Credits," amends and expands the definition of WOTC's veteran target groups. The changes and new provisions in this Act apply to individuals who begin to work for an employer the day after its enactment, November 22, 2011, and before January 1, 2013.
