Does this hiring preference really work?

I saw something called the Opportunity Tax Credit on the Home Depot application. It's supposed to tell Home Depot they can earn a tax credit if they hire me. The application said the information is reported anonymously but I opted out of it. It's meant for Veterans, felons, low income, and long term unemployment recipients which I would honestly qualify for but I'm afraid of the unfair bias . Should I have opted in instead?

I don't think your penalized for providing that information on the application. It's probably a good idea to add it on customer facing or entry level job with big organizations. They usually have a hiring quota for qualified applicants that meet the credit criteria.
