Cultivating Opportunity and Recovery from the Pandemic through Service Act or the CORPS Act

This bill makes several changes to AmeriCorps programs during the COVID-19 health emergency. Specifically, the bill:

  • increases living allowance payments to program participants;
  • increases educational awards for program participants;
  • relaxes program requirements, including reducing the age requirement for AmeriCorps Seniors to 45 and older;
  • creates a pilot program to allow state commissions to directly place individuals in approved AmeriCorps programs; and
  • allows for targeted AmeriCorps grants to fund recovery projects in communities disproportionately affected by COVID-19.

The bill also excludes AmeriCorps living allowance payments and educational awards from taxable income for program participants.
