Hire Student Veterans Act

This bill would change federal tax law so employers can claim the work opportunity tax credit for hiring veterans who are attending school using education benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense, such as GI Bill programs. It adds these student veterans to the list of 'qualified veterans' under the credit. It also exempts these student veterans from a rule in the tax code about minimum employment periods, which reduces the credit for workers who complete fewer hours. The changes would apply to student veterans who start working for an employer after the bill becomes law.
