The introduced bill text states: "In the case of an individual, gross income shall not include qualified strike benefits," and defines qualified strike benefits as compensation from a labor organization replacing wages lost due to a strike, lockout, labor dispute, or work stoppage.

Horsford materially advanced the promised policy by introducing H.R. 8816, the Tax Cut for Striking Workers Act of 2026, on May 14, 2026. The bill text matches the promise by excluding qualified strike benefits from federal gross income. However, the latest available official action shows only referral to the House Committee on Ways and Means, with no House passage, Senate passage, presidential signature, or enacted tax-code change. Because the promised outcome was enactment, introduction alone does not fulfill it, but it does justify effort credit.
