A 2714 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Bring Veterans to New Jersey Program."

This bill establishes the "Bring Veterans to New Jersey Program" within the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs to help New Jersey employers recruit veterans. It requires participating employers to provide up to $5,000 in relocation assistance to eligible veterans (reimbursed by the state), who must relocate to New Jersey for a job and stay employed for at least 12 months. Veterans must create profiles through a contracted nonprofit to be matched with employers, and employers document eligible expenses before reimbursing veterans directly. If a veteran leaves before 12 months due to circumstances like layoff or family emergency, the program allows for partial or full forgiveness of repayment.
