The Protect Veteran Jobs Act allows veteran federal employees who were fired without cause since January 20, 2025, to be reinstated to their former positions or other civil service jobs they qualify for. The bill also requires all federal agencies to report to Congress on veteran employees they have removed or dismissed, including the total number affected and reasons for each removal, with the first report due within 60 days of the bill's enactment and subsequent reports every 90 days through January 2029. This legislation directly affects federal agencies across the executive branch and protects current and recently dismissed veteran employees from arbitrary job loss. The bill establishes no new funding requirements but creates ongoing reporting obligations for federal agencies to maintain transparency about veteran employment decisions.
