KansasWorks Work Opportunity Tax Credit
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a Federal tax credit available to employers who hire and retain veterans and individuals from other target groups with significant barriers to employment. Employers claim about $1 billion in tax credits each year under the WOTC program. There is no limit on the number of individuals an employer can hire to qualify to claim the tax credit. WOTC joins other workforce programs that incentivize workplace diversity and facilitate access to good jobs for American workers
WOTC helps targeted workers move from economic dependency into self-sufficiency as they earn a steady income and become contributing taxpayers, while participating employers are able to reduce their income tax liability.
The maximum tax credit amounts depend on the wages paid to the new hire, the new employee’s target group and the number of hours worked during the first year of employment. The tax credit amounts range from $1,200 to $9,600.
On December 18, 2015, President Obama signed into law the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (the PATH Act) that extends and modifies the WOTC Program. In summary, the PATH Act:
- Retroactively reauthorizes the WOTC program target groups for a five-year period, from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2019.
- Introduces a new target group, Qualified Long-term Unemployment Recipients, for new hires that begin to work for an employer on or after January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2019.
There are approximately 5,873 Employers’ in Kansas that utilize the WOTC program. The WOTC unit averages 38,000 applications a year.
For more information about the WOTC please contact Ashla Stowe at ashla.stowe@ks.gov or (785) 296-7435 or go to WOTC.

Farmway Coop
Farmway Co-op, Inc. is joining with 30,000 other cooperatives nationwide in October to celebrate National Cooperative Month, which recognizes the many ways cooperatives help to build stronger communities and a stronger economy.
“Cooperatives Build” is the theme of this year’s National Cooperative Month. “This year’s theme is excellent, because there are so many ways that cooperatives help to build a stronger rural America,” said Art Duerksen, Farmway CEO. “Our cooperative had $409,874,612 in sales and other income last year, with earnings on those sales being returned either to our members or reinvested in the co-op. Those dollars circulate close to home, helping to strengthen the local economy.”
Consider these ways that co-ops build:
Cooperatives Build Trust Most co-ops strive to adhere to seven key cooperative principles, which combine to help build trust between the co-op, its members and the community. For example, the first principle is Voluntary and Open Membership, which means that we are a voluntary organization open to all people to use our services and willing to accept the responsibility of membership. The second principle, Democratic Member Control, gives members a voice in the cooperative’s policies and decisions. Through the fifth principle, Education, Training and Information, we enable members to contribute to the development of our cooperative whether it’s by attending an annual meeting or serving on the board of directors. Members have opportunities to contribute to the cooperative.
Cooperatives Build Community The seventh cooperative principle is Concern for Community. Cooperatives work for the sustainable development of their communities through employee involvement in local organizations, through charitable contributions to community efforts and through support for schools. Through the month of October, your cooperative is hosting its annual Farmway Food Pantry Drive at all Farmway locations and participating high schools. Elementary students can join in the celebration through the coloring contest.
Cooperatives Build Jobs Cooperatives generate jobs in their communities, keep profits local and pay local taxes to help support community services. Farmway has 37 facilities in nine north central Kansas counties and employs 161 people. “Through the real estate, sales and payroll taxes it pays, the co-op is a major contributor to the tax base of local governments, helping to support schools, police and fire protection and other vital community infrastructure,” said Duerksen.
Cooperatives Build a Better World Through all of the above ways, cooperatives build a better world. “We like to talk about ‘the cooperative difference,’ because co-ops offer so many advantages to their members,” said Tim Porter, Board Chairman and a grain producer in Mitchell County. “Our business is owned by its producer-owners. United in a co-op, the power of one is multiplied by the many.”
