Veterans' Preference gives eligible veterans preference in appointment over many other applicants. Veterans' preference applies to all new appointments in the competitive service and many in the excepted service. Veterans' preference does not guarantee veterans a job and it does not apply to internal agency actions such as promotions, transfers, reassignments and reinstatements.
What are you entitled to?
The Veterans' Preference Advisor, developed by the Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS), allows veterans to examine the preferences for which you might be entitled to with regard to Federal jobs. Claimants can submit a claim electronically. VETS staff members are available to provide technical assistance prior to filing an official claim.
