This bill requires employers to pay a fee of at least $10,000 when they apply for permanent labor certification to hire foreign workers. The fee applies to employers filing the Application for Permanent Employment Certification form, which is used to demonstrate that qualified American workers are not available for the position. Starting in fiscal year 2027, the fee will be adjusted annually for inflation, rounded to the nearest $10. Of the fees collected, half will go into a dedicated PERM Fee Account and half into the general Treasury, with the account funds split between the Department of Labor and the Office of Personnel Management to improve job search and recruitment capabilities on USAJOBS and related platforms. The fees cannot be waived or reduced under any circumstances.
