Veteran Workforce Legislation, Resources

On November 10th, the Senate voted 95-0 to pass H.R. 674, after adding provisions intended to help unemployed veterans, including tax credits to companies that hire unemployed veterans and the creation of a retraining assistance program through which veterans would be entitled to up to 12 months of training assistance.


The U.S. Department of Labor has also launched the Veterans Gold Card, the "My Next Move for Veterans" website and the National Resource Directory's Veterans Job Bank. Additional information about these initiatives is available at http://www.dol.gov/vets/.
