This dataset contains information on claims of potential violations of the Uniformed Services Employment Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and statutes and regulations pertaining to Veterans Preference (VP). The VETS’ Case Management System (VCMS) allows claimants to submit claims to VETS involving potential USERRA or VP violations. Claimants may also monitor the status of their claim and upload evidence and other documents directly to their assigned investigator through the VCMS. VETS’ investigators use VCMS as the case file of record to conduct investigations based on the claims submitted by claimants. The VCMS maintains secure copies of all investigative files, and case elements, and produces data regarding investigations for formal reporting requirements.
DOL-VETS produces annual and quarterly Reports to Congress on USERRA. The source data for those reports are stored in an Oracle database in AWS.
