Enhanced Interagency Cooperation to Support Veterans' Transition to Civilian Life.
This law strengthens cooperation between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Labor (DOL) to ease the transition of service members to civilian life. The changes aim to provide veterans with better access to job training, employment services, and comprehensive post-service support. A key coordinating committee is expanded and given broader authority to assist veterans more effectively.
Key points
The VA-DoD Joint Executive Committee is expanded to include representatives from the Department of Labor, improving access to employment services for transitioning service members.
The Committee's name is changed to the "Transition Executive Committee," and its mandate is formally broadened to cover comprehensive support for veterans moving into civilian life.
Veterans can expect better coordination of training programs and job placement assistance due to closer collaboration among key federal agencies.
