American employers may still arrange for foreign workers through Seasonal Work/Travel USA Program. Unlike with H2B Program, there is no charge for the service. Moreover, the participants of the Program are not subjects to Medicare, Social Security or Unemployment taxes. These savings account for up to seven percent of payroll.
