Bill Summary

Reduce Unemployment for Veterans of All Ages Act of 2018

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend Title 38 of the United States Code to eliminate the period of eligibility for the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) program of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VR&E program provides vocational and employment assistance to eligible veterans, but currently has a time limit on when veterans can access these benefits. By repealing Section 3103, which establishes the period of eligibility, this bill would allow veterans to access VR&E services without being constrained by a specific time frame, potentially helping reduce unemployment for veterans of all ages.
