Oficina del Procurador del Veterano Puertorriqueño
The office that Act 203-2007, the Bill of Rights of the Puerto Rican Veteran for the 21st Century, places at the centre of the veterans’ rights system. The act assigns it concrete functions: it receives from every employer notice of employment announcements for competitive positions and circulates them to duly organised veterans’ organisations, and it receives from the Department of Education the annual report on federal funds available for veterans’ studies. Its portal did not respond from the environment in which these guides were verified, so no web address is published here: confirm one before relying on it.
