 Welcome to Massachusetts Senator John Kerry's Online Office
This provision, added to the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005, will continue giving men and women serving in the military the option of applying their pay earned in a combat zone toward the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
As it was originally written, their pay earned in a combat zone was not counted toward the credit, which prevented service members from receiving thousands of extra dollars under the program that they would otherwise qualify for.
The current provision allowing pay earned in a combat zone to count toward the EITC expires at the end of 2005, and the amendment would provide an extension of this fix through the end of 2006.
