Preference eligibility for veterans in Federal employment is defined in section 2108 of title 5, United States Code, and applies to new appointments in both the competitive and excepted service. While veterans' preference does not guarantee veterans a job and does not apply to appointments under merit promotion procedures or internal agency actions such as promotions, transfers, reassignments and reinstatements, it does provide a very useful tool in the application process for qualified candidates.
If you are claiming veteran's preference, you MUST submit the appropriate supporting documentation. Failure to do so WILL result in the loss of veteran's preference.
10-point preference eligible: An individual who served at any time and has a service connected disability or has received a Purple Heart, and survivors or spouses of certain veterans.

In addition, only veterans discharged or released from active duty in the armed forces under honorable conditions (or, more recently, active duty members who certify through official documentation that they are expected to be honorably discharged or released within 120 days) are eligible for veterans' preference. Retired members of the armed forces are not included in the definition of preference eligible unless they are a disabled veteran or they retired below the rank of major or its equivalent.
