Bill > HR1227

This bill, the Work for Warriors Act of 2015, authorizes the Department of Defense (DOD) to conduct a pilot program aimed at improving job placement assistance and related employment services for members of the National Guard and Reserves, as well as veterans. The program is designed to focus on a one-on-one model to efficiently connect these individuals with jobs, offering services like identifying job seekers, matching them with positions, assisting with resumes and interviews, and providing post-employment support. To ensure accountability, the DOD must establish metrics to measure the program's success and report its findings to Congress, including details on job placements and costs. The program is set to conclude on September 30, 2018, but can be extended for up to two additional years, with a yearly spending limit of $20 million. Additionally, states participating in the program must contribute at least 30 percent of the federal funds they receive from non-federal sources.
