Individuals who have special priority selection rights under the Agency Career Transition Assistance Program (CTAP) or the Interagency Career Transition Assistance Program (ICTAP) must be well qualified for the position. To be well qualified, applicants must satisfy all qualification requirements for the vacant position.

The Veterans Employment OpportunitiesAct (VEOA) allows eligible veterans to apply and compete for positions announced under merit promotion procedures when the hiring agency is recruiting from outside its own workforce. To be eligible for a Veterans Employment Opportunities Act (VEOA) appointment, a veteran must be honorably separated and either a preference eligible or have substantially completed three (3) or more years of continuous active military service. If you are applying for a Merit Promotion announcement and wish to be considered under the VEOA, in addition to the other required application materials, you must submit a copy of your DD-214 to the HR contact annotated in the vacancy announcement.
Veterans who are disabled or who served on active duty in the Armed Forces during certain specified time periods or in military designated campaigns are entitled to preference over non-veterans both in hiring from competitive lists of eligibles and in retention during reductions in force. Preference does not have as its goal the placement of a veteran in every vacant Federal job; however, preference does provide a uniform method by which special consideration is given to qualified veterans seeking Federal employment. When applying for Federal jobs, eligible veterans should claim preference on their application or resume.
To be entitled to preference, a veteran must have been discharged under honorable conditions which is documented on Member Copy 4 of the DD214. If the appropriate copy of the DD214 is not submitted and the discharge status is not confirmed, the candidate will not receive credit for their claimed active duty military service.
If claiming 5 points, applicants must submit Member Copy 4 of their DD214. If claiming 10 points, applicants must submit Member Copy 4 of their DD214 and an SF-15 along with the documentation specified on the reverse side of the form. If the SF-15 is not submitted, the documentation required by the form verifying the service connected disability (e.g., letter from the VA confirming the disability) must be submitted in order to receive 10-point preference consideration. If you are claiming derived preference (relative of the veteran), you must submit Member Copy 4 of the DD214, the SF-15 and the supporting documentation specified on the reverse side of the form. All candidates must submit all other required application materials as specified in this vacancy announcement.
