Wilmington University as a Government contractor is subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act
of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA), which requires Government
contractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance veterans in employment:
(1) disabled veterans
(2) recently separated veterans
(3) active duty
wartime or campaign badge veterans
(4) Armed Forces service medal veterans
These classifications are defined as follows:
• A “disabled veteran” is one of the following:
o a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but
for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or
o a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
• A “recently separated veteran” means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such
veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
• An “active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran” means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S.
military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge
has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
• An “Armed Forces service medal veteran” means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military,
ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service
medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
P
rotected veterans may have additional rights under USERRA - the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment
Rights Act. In particular, if you were absent from employment in order to perform service in the uniformed service, you
may be entitled to be reemployed by your employer in the position you would have obtained with reasonable certainty
if not for the absence due to service. For more information, call the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment
and Training Service (VETS), toll-free, at 1-866-4-USA-DOL.
As a government contractor subject to VEVRAA, we are required to submit a report to the United States Department of
Labor each year identifying the number of our employees belonging to each specified protected veteran category. If you
