Make disconnected youth, transitioning foster youth, unemployed members of reserve components, spouses of active duty and reserve military personnel, all persons receiving SSDI cash assistance, recipients of government housing assistance, and senior citizens on SNAP eligible for WOTC. As more seniors desire to work, repeal the age limit for persons receiving food stamps eligibility for WOTC, currently 40 years, thus making all persons receiving food stamps eligible for WOTC, saving the government money as they find jobs and pay taxes. Due to the special employment barriers of the disabled, the WOTC wage base should be increased from $6,000 to $12,000.
