Federal employees who are veterans could get their jobs back if dismissed without cause.
Federal employees who are veterans could get their jobs back if they were fired without cause between January 20, 2025, and when this bill becomes law. Federal agencies would also need to report quarterly on veteran employee dismissals and their reasons.
Today, veteran federal employees fired without cause during a specific period do not have a federal path for reinstatement under this framework, and agencies are not required to report these dismissals. This bill would make those veterans eligible for reinstatement and require executive branch agencies to submit quarterly reports to Congress on veteran employee removals and their reasons until January 20, 2029.
