On June 26th, Congressmen John Lewis (Democrat, Georgia) and Jon Porter (Republican, Nevada) introduced House Resolution 6407, called the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award Tax Relief Act. This bill would change current tax code to make the AmeriCorps education award non-taxable. Because the award would not be included in an individual’s gross income, a former AmeriCorps member would be able to use their entire award for higher education and / or loan forgiveness.
