The Veterans Employment Readiness Yield Act of 2025, also known as the VERY Act of 2025 , proposes a targeted amendment to title 38, United States Code . Its central aim is to update and modernize specific terminology found within the sections pertaining to veteran employment. The Act mandates that the phrase " employment handicap " be replaced with " employment barrier " wherever it appears in title 38. This change also applies to the plural forms, ensuring consistency by substituting "employment handicaps" with "employment barriers" across all relevant statutory provisions.
