The Uniformed Services Employment Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) allows disabled veterans to choose from five different routes to gain employment. The five options include reemployment at the same employer, rapid access to employment, self-employment and the possibility of employment through long-term service.

Employers can inquire about applicants' disabilities and whether they require any accommodations in the hiring process. For instance, if they need longer time to complete the test or if they feel it's okay to speak instead of write their answers. However, the ADA does not allow employers to inquire about a person's disability unless it is evident.

Employers who are concerned about discrimination against disabled veterans might consider conducting training sessions for all of their employees to increase awareness and understanding of veteran issues.
