DECATUR, GA — Today, ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) announced he is working with the Wounded Warrior Program by opening an application process for a veteran to work in his district office in Decatur.
The two-year, fulltime paid position – which is part of the Green & Gold Congressional Aide Program established by the House of Representatives to provide employment opportunities for veterans within member offices – entails working with the military and veteran constituents to handle veterans-related casework and act as a facilitator between constituents and federal, state, and local agencies.
The salary range is $51,000-$63,000. “We make a covenant with our veterans and their families that we will care for them when they return,” said Rep. Johnson. “Making sure we honor that commitment is one of my highest priorities.
That’s why I’m pleased to be working with the House of Representatives to help make sure veterans and military personnel living in America have access to our federal government and the care and services they have earned.”
The program is specifically for veterans who meet the following requirements: 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. To apply, click HERE.
