We talked about communications and outreach. As a nation, that is the biggest gap we have that needs to be addressed. It's not something the government can do alone. It has to talk about changing attitudes and stigma in the workforce and all sorts of places. It's a big task to get it up so that it's okay to step forward and get services and support.
More specifically, though, I will comment about the earnings loss benefit versus a pension. Something I have noticed is that some veterans are finding that the earnings loss benefit is a de-incentivizing risk, because as soon as they go back into the workforce and start to have a career again, the earnings loss benefit dissipates as they are being rehabilitated. For some people the thought of doing that is so scary it holds them back a little bit.
I don't know if there could be a tweak made to that program that perhaps would segment it. Perhaps they could get the ELB for a set year, and then re-evaluate after a year or six months or something, so that it gives people an opportunity to test their value in the private sector for a while.
