What this amendment would do
Mrs. Gillibrand submitted amendment SA 2695 to the bill H.R. 1. The purpose of this amendment is to exempt certain payments from federal income taxation.
Specifically, the amendment aims to add a new section to the tax code stating that an individual's gross income does not include any amounts received as a judgment, award, or settlement relating to sexual assault or sexual harassment claims. This includes lump sums or periodic payments for back pay, front pay, punitive damages, or payments made to release, resolve, settle, or litigate claims.
Additionally, the amendment aims to exclude these same amounts from Social Security taxes, Railroad Retirement taxes, unemployment taxes, and wage withholding.
