Helping to Encourage Real Opportunities (HERO) for Youth Act of 2025

HR 2507 (HERO for Youth Act of 2025) expands a federal tax credit for employers hiring youth. It allows the credit for year-round employment (not just summer) for young workers attending school 20+ hours weekly between September 16 and April 30. The bill also creates a new credit for employers hiring "disconnected youth" - defined as individuals aged 16-25 not enrolled in school or employed for six months, or foster youth aged 16-21. The credit amount is increased, and related tax code provisions are updated to reflect these changes.
