S. 3591 requires the Departments of Labor and Veterans Affairs to create a standardized notice informing employees about veterans' benefits, with each state receiving its own customized version that includes federal benefits plus any additional state-specific programs. Employers with 50 or more employees must display this notice in visible workplace locations, with the requirement taking effect one year after the bill becomes law. The Labor Department must complete the notices within 270 days of enactment and update them at least twice yearly, while states will have 45 days to contribute information about their own veteran benefits programs. The bill also directs the Labor and Veterans Affairs departments to launch an information campaign during the first 180 days to educate employers about the new requirement. The legislation affects all large employers across the country and aims to help veterans better understand what assistance is available to them through both federal and state programs.
