Each year, veterans leave the armed services and enter or re-enter the job market. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the EEOC) estimates that 25% of veterans returning from the Middle East conflicts will have a service-connected disability. Recognizing the importance of assuring returning veterans a level playing field at home, on February 28, the EEOC issued Q&A guides for employers and for veterans, serving as reminders that veterans with disabilities are covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008.
