The US Labor Department extends comment period for veteran hiring rules

The US Labor Department has extended the deadline for public comments on proposed changes to rules for hiring veterans. The new deadline is September 17, 2025. This means the public has an extra 15 days to submit feedback on how federal contractors must hire and track veterans.

This document is a procedural update, not a substantive change. It simply gives the public more time to comment on proposed revisions to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act. The actual impact on federal contractors and veteran hiring practices will depend on the final rules, which are not yet published.
