H.R. 1884 — Veterans Fellowship Act

This section establishes a pilot program, to be carried out by the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Veterans' Employment and Training, under which at least three but not more than five states may use grants or contracts under 38 U.S.C. §4102A(b)(5)—which support state veterans' employment services (i.e., disabled veterans' outreach and employment counseling)—to partner with nonprofits in placing veterans in short-term fellowships with employers. Each fellowship lasts not more than 20 weeks, provides veterans a monthly stipend, and offers an opportunity for long-term employment with the employer. Not later than four years after the program's commencement, the Comptroller General must report to the House and Senate Committees on Veterans' Affairs on the pilot program. The section authorizes appropriations of $10 million annually for FY2025 through FY2029, in addition to amounts available under such section 4102A(b)(5).
