Tax breaks for employers: Hiring children of fallen veterans

Hey everyone,

I could use some help interpreting a specific section of the law regarding this article:

I have status as the child of a fallen American veteran, and I just turned 29 this year. I’m trying to figure out if my employer is actually eligible for the tax credit mentioned in the piece. I’m on a permanent contract—not my first one with them, either; I’ve been with the same company since I was 24. This part is what's tripping me up:

The specified method for calculating contributions based on monthly bases lasts for a maximum of five years, and this right applies to all categories of persons who, prior to the signing of the employment contract, had not previously entered into a permanent employment contract with the same employer.

Based on that wording, it seems like my employer wouldn't qualify for the credit since I've already been on a permanent contract with them for quite a while—but I figured I'd check with anyone here who knows the ins and outs of this stuff 👍just in case.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Why do you even care about this? Isn't this kind of thing more of a concern for your employer—the people actually footing the bill and paying your salary?

PS: God damn you 🤦

Look, it’s not like I’m walking around wearing a sign—that’s my business. But if an employer can actually snag some kind of tax credit because of it, then yeah, I'll bring it up. That’s really the only reason I’m checking.
