The Return to Work Awareness Act directs the Department of Labor to use the Job Accommodation Network to spread information and raise awareness about helping stroke survivors and people who have experienced other serious health events, such as traumatic brain injury or heart attacks, return to employment. The initiative targets survivors and their families, as well as employers, government agencies, and service providers. The goal is to assist these individuals in getting back to work, show employers how to effectively utilize the skills and talents of these survivors, and promote self-employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for them. The bill does not specify dedicated funding or implementation timelines, instead authorizing the Department of Labor to conduct these awareness and assistance activities.
