This bill updates the VA’s Veterans Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program, which provides job training and employment help for veterans with service‑connected disabilities. Veterans must submit an application to get an initial evaluation, and the time they can receive employment assistance is capped at 365 days.
It also adds more tracking and transparency. The VA must report to Congress on how veterans do after the program, including their wages before and after completing it. Each year, the VA must publish the average wait time from when a veteran requests services to their first meeting with a counselor. The VA must also seek an outside expert to review VR&E programs and recommend improvements.
