Job reinstatement for removed veterans
If you are a veteran who was involuntarily removed or fired without cause from a federal civil service job between January 20, 2025 and the date this bill is enacted, you could be reinstated. You could return to the same job or move into another civil service job you qualify for. This would take effect when the bill is enacted.
