We are proud partners in the Maine Hire-A-Vet Campaign, which seeks to have 100+ Maine employers hire 100+ veterans over a period of 100 days. The 2016 Campaign is well under way, and we are well ahead of our goals – a testament to the engagement and commitment of Maine employers, and recognition that veterans can bring incredible experience and skill to their workforce.
1. Maine does not tax your veteran retirement pension!
2. The Togus VA Hospital is the oldest in the nation! It ranks #2 countrywide for the smallest disability claims backlog and consistently ranks high for quality service and medical wait times.
3. Maine State Government wants to hire YOU! In 2016, the legislature passed a bill that gives all veterans (including those with an Other Than Honorable discharge) who apply for a job in State Government an automatic interview if they meet the minimum qualifications for the job! Gold Star spouses are also eligible for automatic interviews under the new law.
