- 消息人士称，新指引将允许雇主为支付休假保险保费申请税收抵免
- 贝森特与约翰逊将与亚利桑那州共和党议员胡安·西斯科马尼共同宣传这项政策
- 美国是经合组织唯一未强制推行带薪家庭和医疗休假的成员国
华盛顿8月5日路透电——据三位熟悉相关计划的人士透露，美国财政部将于周三发布新指引，扩大对雇主提供带薪家庭休假的激励措施，白宫希望借此在中期选举中造势。
财政部长斯科特·贝森特和众议院议长迈克·约翰逊计划与亚利桑那州众议员胡安·西斯科马尼在菲尼克斯城外共同讨论这项政策。西斯科马尼是众议院最容易落选的共和党议员之一，政府官员正积极支持那些面临民主党强劲挑战者的候选人。

他们将宣传的这项政策，是对2017年特朗普首任任期大规模减税法案中设立的带薪休假税收抵免政策的扩展。
该政策规定，雇主若为员工提供至少两周、相当于员工工资50%的家庭和医疗休假，即可申请税收抵免。此前只有在员工休假期间直接支付薪资的雇主才有资格享受该抵免，但许多企业转而选择购买保险政策来覆盖休假成本。
上述不愿具名的人士表示，由于未获公开发言授权，新指引将允许雇主为支付的保险保费申请抵免。
美国是38国经济合作与发展组织中唯一未强制推行带薪家庭和医疗休假的成员国。
“辛勤工作的美国人不应在照顾所爱之人和赚取薪水之间做出选择，”贝森特在一份声明中说道。
白宫发言人库什·德赛在一份声明中表示，这项政策是“职场父母的又一历史性胜利”。
这项政策出自特朗普标志性的税收与移民法案《宏大美好法案》。
特朗普及其保守派支持者正试图将该法案作为11月选举的核心宣传议题，尽管共和党在经济议题上的支持率已大幅下滑。
路透社/益普索周一发布的一项民调显示，选民以37%比36%更青睐民主党对经济的管理，登记选民则以5个百分点的优势支持民主党在国会众议院普选中的候选人。
特朗普政府的这项政策旨在通过税收激励措施，鼓励雇主承担休假成本，而非由联邦政府买单。该政策长期以来得到内布拉斯加州参议员黛布·费舍尔的支持，这位有影响力的共和党人在2024年连任竞选中以微弱优势击败了一名独立挑战者。

- Summary
- New guidance lets employers claim tax credit for paying leave-insurance premiums, sources say
- Bessent and Johnson set to promote policy with Arizona Republican Juan Ciscomani
- US is only OECD member without a paid family and medical leave mandate
WASHINGTON, Aug 5 (Reuters) – The U.S. Treasury Department will announce new guidance on Wednesday expanding incentives for employers to offer paid family leave, according to three people familiar with the plans that the White House hopes to tout in midterm elections.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and House Speaker Mike Johnson are set to join Arizona Representative Juan Ciscomani outside Phoenix to discuss the policy. Ciscomani is one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the House, and administration officials are rallying to support candidates facing strong Democratic challengers.

The policy they’ll be promoting centers on an expansion of a paid leave tax credit created in 2017 during President Donald Trump’s massive first-term tax cut law.
It allows employers to claim a tax credit if they offer at least two weeks of family and medical leave worth at least 50% of an employee’s wages. Employers qualified only if they paid wages while a worker was out, but many businesses choose instead to purchase insurance policies to cover the costs of leave.
The guidance allows employers to claim the credit if they pay insurance premiums, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
The U.S. is the only member of the 38-nation Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development without a paid family and medical leave requirement.
“Hardworking Americans should not have to choose between caring for a loved one and earning a paycheck,” Bessent said in a statement.
White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement that the policy was “another historic win for working parents.”
The policy was outlined in Trump’s signature tax and immigration law, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Trump and conservatives are seeking to use that law as the centerpiece of their message in November’s elections, though Republicans have dramatically lost ground when it comes to economic issues.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Monday found that voters prefer Democrats’ stewardship of the economy 37% to 36%, and registered voters side with Democrats on a generic congressional ballot by a 5% margin.
The Trump administration’s policy seeks to use tax incentives to encourage employers to bear the cost, rather than the federal government, and has long been championed by Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, an influential Republican who beat back an insurgent independent candidate in a close 2024 reelection fight.
