EITC for Older Workers Act of 2024
The EITC for Older Workers Act of 2024 removes the age 65 limit for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), expanding eligibility to older workers. Currently, the EITC excludes individuals who have reached age 65, but this bill amends the tax code to eliminate that restriction. The change applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, meaning low- and moderate-income workers aged 65 and older will become eligible for this refundable tax credit. This policy shift directly affects older workers who previously could not access the EITC despite meeting income requirements.
