Protect Veteran Jobs Act

This legislation aims to safeguard the employment of veterans within the federal government by establishing specific provisions for their reinstatement and requiring transparency regarding their removal from service. It grants eligibility for reinstatement to any individual who is a veteran and was involuntarily removed or dismissed without cause from a civil service position during the period beginning on January 20, 2025, and ending on the date of the bill's enactment. Such veterans would be eligible for their former position or any other qualified civil service position. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the head of each executive branch agency submit quarterly reports to designated congressional committees. These reports must detail the total number of veteran employees removed or dismissed from the agency during the reporting period and provide the specific reason for each such removal or dismissal. This reporting requirement is set to terminate on January 20, 2029, ensuring a temporary but focused oversight of veteran employment practices.
