Law 117–2, authorized VA to
implement both the Veteran
Employment through Technology
Education Courses (VET TEC), and the
Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance
Program (VRRAP), respectively. Both of
these programs provide assistance to an
eligible Veteran for the pursuit of a
covered program of education. This
form therefore allows Veterans who
either participated in a VRRAP or VET
TEC program to certify to VA that they
have found employment in a field
related to their program of education.

also used as the employment

certification for VRRAP, will allow
student Veterans and SCOs to certify
that a student Veteran has obtained
meaningful employment with the skills
acquired during their training program
funded by those programs. VA
continues to require approval of this
information collection, so that VA can
verify Veteran employment, as required
by the law. VA would not comply with
statute, if we do not collect the Veteran
Employment Certification. The new
laws require VA to certify and verify
employment for student Veterans,
which aligns with the skills acquired
during their training program, funded
