Veterans Employment Opportunities Act

The Veterans Employment Opportunities Act (VEOA) ensures that qualified military veterans have fair access to Federal jobs. It allows veterans to apply for positions that are open to federal employees, even if those jobs are not publicly advertised to the general public. The act aims to recognize the skills and sacrifices of service members by providing them with better employment opportunities within the federal government. It also helps veterans compete on an equal footing with other applicants, promoting fair employment practices for those who have served in the military.
