Under State law, qualified veterans are entitled to points added to a passing grade and appointment preference. Please Note: Illinois National Guard/Reserves non-activated only receive points added to a passing grade. All veterans will be required to submit a certified copy of their DD214/DD215 as proof of service at the time of application.

Changes in Required Documentation
Because of changes to state law, the State of Illinois will need a certified copy of a veteran's DD214/215 to receive veterans preference. For details on required documentation, see the Veterans Preference flyer [PDF, 12KB]. The Veterans Preference flyer is in pdf format and may be viewed using Acrobat Reader.
