The Protect Veteran Jobs Act is a bill designed to reinstate certain veteran Federal employees. It targets individuals who were involuntarily removed or dismissed without cause from civil service positions between January 20, 2025, and the date of enactment. Additionally, the bill requires executive branch agencies to provide regular reports regarding the removal of veteran employees. These reports must detail the total number of veterans dismissed and the reason for each dismissal. This reporting requirement is set to end on January 20, 2029.
