In response to this letter, the Trump Administration has announced it\u2019s exempting health care and law enforcement positions, but other jobs related to veteran\u2019s benefits are still affected. The hiring freeze will negatively impact Nevada\u2019s veterans, including by blocking the hiring of personnel needed to process benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs written, this Memorandum could dramatically impair the ability of veterans across the country to get the timely care and benefits they desperately need,\u201d <strong>wrote the Senators.<\/strong> \u201cIt could also delay or deny various other services across VA \u2013 from burial services to job training to assistance for homeless veterans to life-saving assistance from the Veterans Crisis Line.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMr. President, to prevent the delay or denial of life-saving services and benefits for our nation\u2019s heroes, we urge you to provide an immediate, clear, and full exemption to VA personnel from your hiring freeze,\u201d <strong>they continued.<\/strong> \u201cWe are hopeful to work with you to build upon our nation\u2019s promise to these men and women, but we also vow to fight every effort that dishonors their service and reneges upon that sacred promise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The full letter can be found <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025-01-23-Letter-to-POTUS-on-VA-hiring-freeze.pdf\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen has worked consistently to deliver for Nevada\u2019s veterans.
