How does the CREW Act impact USERRA?

The CREW Act expands USERRA to include FEMA Reservists. Essentially, the passing of the CREW Act means that any Reservist deployed to a Stafford Act event cannot lose their outside employment due to their work with FEMA. They are also able to take time to train for such deployments. Additionally, they are protected from employment discrimination for being a Reservist.
