Definitions for each classification are listed below.

As a Government contractor subject to VEVRAA, Hiland Dairy Foods Company, LLC requests this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Please assist us with our reporting obligations by selecting the category below as to which you believe you belong.

SELECT YES OR NO

NO: I am not a protected Veteran.

YES: I identify as one or more of the classifications of protected veterans listed below.

- Disabled Veteran: 1) a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or 2) a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
- Recently Separated Veteran: Any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release for active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
