Plain-English Summary

The bill would expand the disabled veterans' outreach program to help certain spouses of disabled veterans find jobs and access employment services. Currently, these support services are limited mainly to veterans themselves, but this change would allow eligible spouses to receive the same job training, placement assistance, and career counseling. This would affect military families by giving spouses additional resources to enter or advance in the workforce.
