which U.S. states prohibit discrimination based on military discharge?

Question

i read this somewhere, didn't know if it was true or not.

Answer 1

believe it is all states. Discrimination is a Federal Offense so with that said, i think all. Now you have to answer all questions on Application truthfully and if they uncover you are lying about something then it isnt Discrimination it is your own stupidity. Dont know if that made sense or not.

Answer 2

Yeah I believe its federal offense. However I believe that if they have that information they will simply be "prejudicial" against you and refuse to hire you based on "other factors", but the real reason being the nature of your discharge. You can't really beat that.

However they will try to probe by using the questions on the application: For Example:
"If you were still at yadiyadiyada would you still be eligible for rehire?"
Answer: YES, because even if you were kicked out, then that only happened after they found you guilty of something, so technically you will just interpret it to your advantage without stinging your butt.

another Example....
"Have you ever being discharged or fired from your job?"
Last I checked, Honorable Discharge, is nonetheless a discharge even though it is termed as a "Separation".

Well you can say Yes, and answer something like:
"Yes just getting out of the military"
You just gave an ambiguous answer without shooting your own toes.
Good luck...Been there and have learnt how to work through it..

Answer 3

It's illegal to inquire about the discharge status under federal law, so all states. Now, if you mention your military career in an interview, you might be asked "Why did you leave?"

Answer 4

It is NOT illegal in ANY State for a prospective employer to ask to see your DD214. On your DD214, your reenlistment code and conduct of service are listed. Employers are NOT barred from using this information for determining suitability for employment.

Answer 5

I think all states.
