Filing an Appeal:
If you believe that your
agency has not afforded you the Veterans' Preference protections
to which you are entitled, you should appeal to
Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB)
to protect your rights. You must file an appeal in writing
(and signed) with the Boards regional or field office
serving the area where your duty station was located when the
action was taken. (
List of MSPB Offices) The
appeal must be filed within 30 calendar days of the effective
date of the action, if the notice of the action sets an effective
date. (If the 30th day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal
holiday, the filing deadline is extended to the next working
day.) Filing must be made either by mail, by facsimile, by
commercial overnight delivery, or by personal delivery. The date
of filing by mail is considered to be the postmark date. The date
of filing by facsimile is the date of the facsimile. The date of
filing by commercial overnight delivery is the date you deliver
the appeal to the commercial overnight delivery service.
