Employers would post veterans' benefits notices at work

What does this do?

This bill would require employers to post a notice at work that lists benefits available to military veterans. The Departments of Labor and Veterans Affairs would create a version of this notice for each state, covering federal veterans' benefits, how to apply, the Veterans Crisis Line, and state-specific benefits. The notice must fit on a standard sheet of paper and be updated at least twice a year.

Who does it affect?

The requirement applies to private businesses, government agencies, and certain federal entities such as the Government Accountability Office and Library of Congress, as long as they have at least 50 employees.

Why does it matter?

Veterans who work for covered employers would see information about available benefits posted in the same area as other required workplace notices. States would have the opportunity to contribute and update their own information in the notice.
