Issue Position: Veterans Jobs Plan

Issue Position

"When the brave men and women who serve our nation in uniform leave to deploy overseas, they don't just leave behind their family and friends, often times they leave behind jobs and livelihoods as well. After the sacrifices they have made, making sure that they have access to a good paying job to support their families when they return is the least we can do." -- Tim Walz

Tim has a plan to help veterans get jobs when they return home. His legislation would:

Create a simplified certification process for recently discharged veterans who qualify for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit.

Make it easier for our servicemen and women who have been recently discharged to provide documentation from the Department of Defense to prospective employers.
The Department of Defense will also educate service members on how to market themselves to employers with the tax credit.
