Question: I think I didn’t get a job because the employer didn’t want to hire veterans. Is there anything I can do?

Answer: Yes. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) prohibits all employers from discriminating against any veteran, reservists, or National Guard members because of his or her past, present, or future military obligation. The law also requires that employers provide reemployment rights after a period of active duty or training. If you think your rights have been violated contact your state director of veterans employment and training on this Web site.
