| Title: ●Jobs For Veterans Act of 2002 | |
| Abstract: The Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) is proposing to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to implement changes required by the Jobs For Veterans Act (JFVA) of 2002. This act amended the Vietnam Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended (VEVRAA), by revising the reporting threshold from $25,000 to $100,000. JFVA also eliminated the collection categories of special disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era and added the new collection categories of disabled veterans and armed forces expeditionary medal veterans. JFVA continues the collection for the recently separated veterans category, but changed the definition for that category to include any veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military ground, naval, or air service during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty. Additionally, Federal contractors and subcontractors will be required to report the total number of all current employees in each of the nine categories and for each hiring location. This proposal will assist VETS in meeting the statutory requirement of annually collecting the VETS-100 Report. PL 107-288 also requires VETS to establish in regulations a uniform national threshold entered employment rate for veterans receiving service through the public labor exchange. States will be gauged against a national entered employment rate threshold measured considering the state's unemployment rate and the states economic condition. This proposed rule will assist in determining performance deficiencies. In addition, the JFCA among other things requires the Department to establish and phase-in a new funding formula for Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) and Local Veterans Employment Representatives (LVER) grants to states over a three-year period beginning October 1, 2002. This new formula is based on the number of veterans seeking employment in the civilian labor market, unemployment data as well as other criteria the Secretary may establish. | |
