The Overtime Workers Bill
Delaware proposes $15k tax credit for overtime workers
An Act To Amend Title 30 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Personal Income Tax Credits Applicable To Overtime Income.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, Delaware would let workers earn up to $15,000 in overtime get a tax credit, but the credit disappears for higher earners.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The credit could give low‑and middle‑income families extra cash each year, helping them pay bills, but it will cost the state money and may not help richer households.
