Veterans Readiness and Employment Program Integrity Act
HR 3579 requires veterans to submit an application before the VA can begin an initial evaluation for vocational rehabilitation services. It limits employment assistance under the program to a maximum of 365 days per veteran. The bill also mandates the VA to annually report veterans' regional office assignments, pre- and post-program wages, and average wait times for counselor meetings to Congress and the public. Additionally, it requires an independent review of VA rehabilitation programs within one year of enactment to recommend improvements.
