Congressman Cohen Introduces the Mobility Means Freedom Tax Credit Act

WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) today introduced the Mobility Means Freedom Tax Credit Act to provide a 50 percent tax credit in the out-of-pocket expense of up to three mobility devices a year. The tax credit would apply to wheelchairs, braces, walkers, crutches, orthotics and prosthetics that help the physically disabled remain mobile.

Congressman Cohen made the following statement:

“Having the proper mobility devices improves peoples’ quality of life, allowing them to better navigate their homes and communities. Further, the bill would reduce financial and mobility barriers to enter or re-enter the workforce. ‘Mobility means freedom’ and this measure advances that goal.”
