Feenstra Seeks Veteran or Gold Star Family Member for Position in District Office
HULL, IOWA – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) announced that he is seeking a veteran or Gold Start Family member for a position in one of his district offices.
The person chosen for this position will work with the military and veteran constituents to handle veterans-related casework and act as a liaison between constituents and federal, state, and local agencies.
“Supporting our veterans and Gold Star Families is an important priority for me in Congress. We owe these incredible Americans – who have made sacrifices themselves or on behalf of their loved ones – to keep our nation safe and free,” said Rep. Feenstra. “That’s why I’m looking to hire a veteran or Gold Star Family member to work in one of my district offices as a liaison between the federal government and our veterans and military personnel. I will always work to ensure that our veterans and servicemembers receive the high-quality healthcare, benefits, and support that they have earned and deserve.”
The Green & Gold Congressional Aide Program was established by the U.S. House of Representatives to provide employment opportunities to veterans and Gold Star Families within member offices.
The program is limited to veterans and Gold Star Families who meet all the following requirements: Veterans must be Honorably discharged, released from active duty within the last six years, terminal pay grades at or below E-5, O-3, or W-2. Veterans promoted to the pay grades of E-6, O-4, and W-3 within 6 months of separation from active duty are eligible, granted they meet ALL other eligibility requirements. Veterans who are in receipt of a 20-year or Temporary Early Retirement Authorization (TERA) retirement are not eligible for the program.
Gold Star applicants must be the spouse, parent, sibling, child, or stepchild of a service member who died in the line of duty or died from a service-connected disability within four years of separation from the service.
