Referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity.
The Employing Veterans to Feed America Act directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to report on the Warrior Training Advancement Course, a program that trains transitioning military members for employment within the VA. The legislation also requires the Department of Agriculture to establish a two-year pilot program to hire veterans in positions related to agriculture, conservation, and nutrition activities. The VA must submit an initial report within six months of the law's enactment, then annually thereafter, detailing participation numbers, cost savings, and hiring outcomes, with copies distributed to all federal agencies. The Agriculture Department must brief Congress within 60 days on how the pilot program will reduce veteran unemployment and submit a final report within 30 days of the program's completion measuring how many veterans were hired and transitioned to permanent federal positions.
