Washington – Independent studies have highlighted the importance of reviving the credit for earned income in Puerto Rico that reforms access to social welfare programs and encourages incorporation into the workforce without an economic penalty.
“This is a discussion that must be taken,” said economist and professor María Enchautegui, welcoming the debate generated by the proposal of the Board, entity in charge of the financial decisions of the Puerto Rico government, to allow a portion of the federal assistance that the Island receives to fund a new credit for earned income.
