Qualifications
Who May Apply: Schedule A Hiring Authority
The Federal Government utilizes the Schedule A hiring authority to non-competitively appoint persons with disabilities. To be eligible for this non-competitive appointment, a person must meet the qualification criteria outlined by Schedule A 5 CFR 213.3102 (u). The person must have a severe physical, cognitive, or emotional disability; have a history of having such disability; or be perceived as having such disability. Regulations allow agencies to accept as proof of disability documentation from a licensed medical professional (e.g., a physician or other medical professional duly certified by a State, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory, to practice medicine); a licensed vocational rehabilitation specialist (i.e., State or private); or any Federal agency, State agency, or an agency of the District of Columbia or a U.S. territory that issues or provides disability benefits.

Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
