Employing Veterans to Feed America Act
This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to report on its Warrior Training Advancement Course (WARTAC), tracking veteran participation rates, cost savings, and hiring outcomes for veterans completing the program. It also creates a 2-year pilot program under the Department of Agriculture to hire veterans transitioning from military service into vacant USDA positions related to agriculture, conservation, and nutrition. The pilot mandates reporting on the number of veterans hired, their transition to full-time federal roles, and program effectiveness. These provisions directly affect veterans using the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) and federal agencies like the VA and USDA.
