Congressman Ivey is seeking a Veteran or Gold Star Family Member for a Position in His Landover Office

Congressman Ivey is seeking a veteran or Gold Star Family member for a position in his Landover district office.

 Ivey said the person chosen for the special position will work with the military and veteran constituents to handle veterans-related casework and act as a facilitator between constituents and federal, state, and local agencies.

“We make a covenant with our veterans and Gold Star Families that we will care for them when they return and making sure we honor that commitment is one of my highest priorities,” he said. “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 Green & Gold Congressional Aide Program was established by the House of Representatives to provide employment opportunities for veterans and Gold Star Families within member offices.

The program is limited to veterans and Gold Star Families who meet all of 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 step-child 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.
