Vietnam Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also referred to as VEVRAA of 1974 as amended 38 USC 4212

This act is in reference to Vietnam era veterans, disabled veterans, and any veterans who served active duty time during a war event that qualifies for a campaign badge.

The United States law requires that employers that contract or subcontract with the federal government in amounts of $25,000 plus comply with these guidelines. The employer must provide equal opportunity to the veterans listed above.

If covered by this act and a veteran believes he or she has been discriminated against they may file a complaint. These complaints can be filed with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs or with a local Veteran's Employment Representative at the local State employment services office.
