Abstract:
The Department of Labor published Final regulations implementing the Honoring Investments Recruiting and Employing (HIRE) American Military Act of 2017 (the Act). The HIRE Vets Act requires the Department to annually solicit and accept voluntary information from employers for consideration of employers to receive a HIRE Vets Medallion Award. The Act establishes specific criteria for large employers and allows the Department discretion in establishing additional criteria for each large employer award level and criteria for small and medium employers to qualify for similar awards. The Final establishes the application process and criteria that the Department intends to use to receive, review, and process applications to verify the information provided; and award the HIRE VETS Medallion. VETS will conduct a system test of the web-based application process in 2018, the HIRE Vets Medallion Program Demonstration, (“Program Demonstration”). VETS plans to limit the number of applicants to 300 for awards to be made on or about Veteran’s Day 2018.
