Veterans Readiness and Employment Improvement and Accountability Act
This bill modifies the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program, which provides job training and education benefits to eligible veterans. It allows the VA to bar certain benefits for veterans convicted of assaulting VA employees and extends VR&E eligibility for some veterans who haven't found employment after training. The bill also sets a $250,000 cap on federal funds for a rehabilitation program, with future adjustments, and requires VA Secretary approval for equipment purchases exceeding $5,000. Additionally, it prevents veterans from concurrently receiving disability compensation based on individual unemployability while participating in a VR&E program and allows subsistence allowances to be based on a veteran's residence in certain cases.
