Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA) prevents qualified covered veterans from being discriminated against in the work place, while also encouraging affirmative action practices to employ these individuals.

The VEVRAA is enforced by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), which evaluates a contractor’s affirmative action program and employment practices. In addition, the OFCCP also investigates reported incidents of discriminatory practices by federal contractors and subcontractors
