Veteran Jobs Training Act

# Veteran Jobs Training Act Summary **What the Bill Does** The Veteran Jobs Training Act would increase federal funding by $15 million per year for programs that help homeless veterans find jobs. These programs, run by the Department of Labor, offer job training, career counseling, and job placement assistance to eligible veterans—particularly those experiencing homelessness or re-entering society after incarceration. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily impacts veterans who are homeless or recently incarcerated and need employment support.

It also affects the Department of Labor, which administers these programs, and potentially local organizations that carry out the training and job placement services. **Current Status** As of now, HR 3558 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Joe Neguse (D-Colorado).
