A protected veteran is a category defined by U.S. law to provide certain employment protections and preferences. Several categories fall under this umbrella:
Disabled Veteran: A veteran entitled to disability compensation (or who would be but for receiving military retired pay) or discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability. Learn more about disabled veterans.
Recently Separated Veteran: Any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty. Understand the recently separated veteran status.
Active Duty Wartime or Campaign Badge Veteran: A veteran who served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge was authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense. Explore active duty wartime veterans.
Armed Forces Service Medal Veteran: A veteran who, while serving on active duty, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985. Read about armed forces service medal veterans.
Being a protected veteran provides advantages in federal employment, and many private employers also have programs to encourage hiring veterans. These advantages include preference in hiring and protection against discrimination. It's important for veterans to self-identify as protected veterans during the application process to receive these benefits.
