Contact your area's local post or chapter and ask about their services. The Legal Framework Several federal laws support the employment of disabled veterans. The ADA establishes nondiscrimination practices for the employment of people with disabilities. Disabled veterans are considered people with disabilities and, therefore, are covered by this Act. This means that federal contractors must take positive steps in all employment practices to enable protected veterans to be considered for employment opportunities, including hiring, promoting, and training.
Many states have employment laws covering either veterans or disabled veterans.
For more information, contact your State Veterans Employment Service, a department of the State Employment Service. The agency is listed under state government agencies in the telephone directory.
