PURPOSE. This Instruction establishes the requirement to brief Coast Guard personnel
separating from the Service regarding their reemployment rights.
2.
SCOPE. This Instruction applies to all Coast Guard personnel, Regular and Reserve, who are
being separated after serving at least 3 consecutive months of active duty, active duty for
training or temporary active duty (TEMAC). The type of separation (retirement, resignation,
or discharge) bearing on an individual's eligibility for reemployment assistance. Those
individuals receiving either an Honorable, General, under honorable conditions, or
Uncharacterized Discharge are eligible for reemployment assistance and can apply to the
Department of Labor's Office of Veterans' Reemployment Rights. Eligibility in cases
involving discharges under other than honorable conditions will be considered by the Office
of Veteran's Reemployment Rights on a case-by-case basis.

DISCUSSION. The Department of Labor has been assigned responsibility for informing
veterans of their rights to reemployment by a former employer and providing assistance to the
veteran exercising those rights. Several other programs administered by the Department of
Labor have also been set up to assist persons leaving military service. Form OVRR-2,
Reemployment Rights and Employment Data, notifies the Office of Veteran's Reemployment
Rights of an individual's return to civilian status and that Agency will take all further action.
