Veterans Employment Grant

Eligible nongovernmental Wisconsin employers may receive a WDVA grant for hiring a Veteran with a VA service-connected disability rating of at least 50% at hire. A qualifying full-time hire can support up to $5,000 over 12 consecutive months; qualifying part-time hires can support up to $2,500. Payments are tied to six- and twelve-month employment documentation. The grant is paid to the employer, not the Veteran.
