Abstract:
Tax Credit Program Administration: Data and information provided by the states on these forms are used for program planning, evaluation of Program performance and outcomes through states' quarterly report and for oversight/verification activities as mandated by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-508) Section 11405(c), which extended indefinitely the $5 million set-aside for testing whether individuals certified as members of WOTC targeted groups are eligible for certification (including use of statistical sampling techniques). As long as there is a WOTC appropriation, this is a continuing requirement.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The additional burden associated with the collections is the result of the fact that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act made the two new WOTC target populations, unemployed veteran and disconnected youth, eligible for employers to receive the tax credit retroactively to January 1, 2009. However, guidance was not issued to the State Workforce Agencies on implementation of these two new target groups until September 1, 2009. Therefore, SWAs will need to request employers to provide the necessary documentation for applications submitted prior September 1, for these two new target groups, thus creating an additional burden.
