Introduced

Summary

Restore civil service jobs for veterans removed without cause.

Show full summary
  • Veterans: Eligible veterans would gain a path to reinstatement to their previous federal civil service job or to any other civil service role for which they qualify, covering removals from January 20, 2025 through enactment.
  • Federal agencies: Heads of executive agencies would need to file an initial report within 60 days and then file quarterly reports until January 20, 2029. Each report must show the total number of veteran employees removed and the reason for each removal.
  • Congressional oversight: Reports go to four named committees: House Oversight; House Veterans' Affairs; Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; and Senate Veterans' Affairs.

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. Federal agencies would also report to Congress every three months on veteran removals, starting within 60 days of enactment, through January 20, 2029.
