The promised policy was enacted in the HIRE Act, signed March 18, 2010, creating a business retention credit of up to $1,000 for each eligible newly hired worker retained for at least 52 consecutive weeks. This matches the substance of Schumer's promise, and it passed while he was serving in the Senate during the same federal campaign/office context rather than after he left office.
