Veterans Employment Opportunities Act (VEOA)

The Veterans Employment Opportunities Act (VEOA) is a law that gives eligible veterans and certain military family members priority in applying for federal jobs. It allows them to access job openings at agencies that might not typically be available to the public and ensures they have a fair chance to compete for these positions. VEOA helps recognize the service of veterans by providing them with extra opportunities to find employment within the federal government, promoting fair hiring practices and supporting their transition to civilian employment.
