内布拉斯加州推出招募退伍军人定居计划 已联系逾8.5万名军人
据内布拉斯加州州长办公室10月13日在林肯发布的消息，州长吉姆·皮伦当天与多家州机构及高校代表共同介绍「美好生活召唤退伍军人」（Good Life is Calling Veterans）计划，吸引即将或近期退役的美军官兵及其家庭到内布拉斯加州定居。
该计划由州军事与退伍军人事务委员会（CMVA）牵头，联合州退伍军人事务厅、经济发展厅、劳工厅、教育厅、州军事部，以及获得州退伍军人事务厅「退伍军人与现役支持」认证的高校共同推进。首阶段通过系列邮件联系近期退役或即将退役的军人，向其介绍内布拉斯加州的退伍军人福利、生活质量、低生活成本与教育机会；计划自今年7月启动以来，已联系超过8.5万名军人。
州方介绍，军人提交咨询后，联系方式将按咨询主题转交对应机构，由专人一对一答复：退伍军人事务厅答复福利与服务、经济发展厅介绍住房与生活环境、劳工厅提供岗位与职业资源、国民警卫队招募人员介绍继续服役选项（含学费资助、学生贷款偿还、入伍奖金与税收优惠）、参与高校介绍各自校园的退伍军人项目。
计划还包括「美好生活行动」线上招聘会，首场定于12月中旬与奥马哈商会合办，服务刚退役或即将退役的军人及其配偶，让身处海外的军人也能与数百家内布拉斯加州雇主在线对接。州长办公室称，项目经费来自退伍军人就业计划基金，资金来源包括「支持我们的部队」车牌的销售收入。
Nebraska Highlights 'Good Life is Calling Veterans' Initiative; Over 85,000 Service Members Contacted
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen on Oct. 13 joined leaders from several state agencies and post-secondary institutions in Lincoln to highlight the "Good Life is Calling Veterans" initiative, which aims to bring discharging U.S. Armed Forces service members and their families to Nebraska, according to a release from the governor's office.
The initiative is run by the Nebraska Commission on Military and Veteran Affairs (CMVA) in partnership with the Nebraska Department of Veterans' Affairs, the Department of Economic Development, the Department of Labor, the Department of Education, the Nebraska Military Department, and post-secondary institutions holding the state's "Veteran & Active Duty Supportive" designation. The initial phase involves a series of emails to service members who recently discharged or will soon discharge, encouraging them to put down roots in Nebraska and connecting them with jobs; since the campaign launched in July 2026, more than 85,000 service members have been contacted with information on Nebraska veteran benefits, quality of life, low cost of living, and educational opportunities.
When a service member requests more information, their contact details are routed to the relevant agency so a team member can respond personally: veterans' affairs staff answer questions on benefits, economic development staff cover housing and quality of life, labor staff share job opportunities, National Guard recruiters discuss continued service options including tuition assistance, student loan repayment, enlistment bonuses, and tax benefits, and participating schools describe their veteran and military programs.
The initiative also includes "Operation Good Life" virtual career fairs for recently or soon-to-be separated service members and their spouses; the first is set for mid-December in partnership with the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, allowing participants — including those serving overseas — to connect online with hundreds of Nebraska employers. Funding comes from the Veterans Employment Program Fund, supported through sales of the "Support Our Troops" license plate, the release said.
