MEMORANDUM

Posted: December 27, 2022 03:42 PM
From: Representative Daniel J. Deasy
To: All House members
Subject: Posting of Veteran Benefits/Services
 
I am introducing legislation to amend the labor law to require employers to display a poster containing information on veterans’ benefits and services which shall be created and distributed by the Department of Labor and Industry. The purpose of the bill is to direct the Department to create a standardized workplace posting that includes the basic information about veterans’ benefits and services.
 
The poster will include:
 
  • Contact and website information for the PA Department of Military & Veterans Affairs
  • Substance abuse and mental health treatment
  • Educational, workforce & training resources
  • Tax benefits
  • Pennsylvania veteran drivers’ license and non-driver identification card designation
  • Eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits under state and/or federal law
  • Legal Services
  • Contact information for the US Department of Veterans Affairs Crisis Line
 
Employers shall be required to display this posting in an area accessible to all employees. This law will apply to employers with more than 50 full-time equivalent employees.  Similar legislation was recently enacted and will go into effect in January in the state of New York.
 
Please join me in co-sponsoring legislation that will aid veterans by providing information on benefits and services to which they may be eligible.
 


Introduced as HB1626
