Disability Employment Support: Tax Credits and Accessibility Improvements

This act aims to facilitate the employment of individuals with disabilities by expanding tax credits for employers. It also increases financial support for businesses that adapt their facilities to be more accessible for people with mobility limitations and the elderly, including internet and telecommunications access. This means more people with disabilities can find jobs, and public spaces become more inclusive.
Key points
Employers can receive larger tax credits for hiring individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, and for their second year of employment.
The tax credit for small businesses to make buildings and services (like internet) more accessible for people with disabilities and the elderly has been expanded.
The deduction limit for expenses to remove architectural and transportation barriers has been increased, encouraging the creation of more accessible places.
