Frequently Asked Questions
What is Veterans’ Preference?
Veterans' preference recognizes the economic loss suffered by
citizens who have served their country in uniform in times of strife, restores veterans to a favorable competitive position for Government employment, and acknowledges the larger obligation owed to
disabled veterans. Historically, Congress has reserved preference
for those who were either disabled, who served in combat areas or during certain periods of time. For more information visit: http://www.opm.gov/veterans/html/vetsinfo.asp
