Supporting Documents for Consideration under a Special Placement Program
Noncompetitive Hiring of Individuals with Disabilities: The FBI has established a noncompetitive appointing authority similar to that used in the competitive service under the Schedule A (5 CFR 213.3102(u)) for individuals with mental retardation, severe physical disabilities, and/or psychiatric disabilities. Supporting documentation for consideration under this authority includes certification of job readiness (for consideration to a permanent appointment) and proof of qualifying disability issued from a licensed medical professional, a licensed vocational rehabilitation specialist, or any Federal or State agency or an agency of D.C. or a U.S. territory that issues or provides disability benefits, i.e., a "certification" statement that identifies you as a person with a disability and that describes your ability to perform the essential duties of the position in which you are interested. For additional information please visit OPM's Federal Employment of People with Disabilities at http://www.opm.gov/disability/
Veteran Employment: The FBI has established noncompetitive appointing authorities similar to those used in competitive service agencies for individuals eligible under the Veterans' Recruitment Authority, 30 Percent or more disabled veterans, and the competitive authority under the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act. For consideration under one of these authorities, please submit a copy of your DD-214. The SF-15, with appropriate documentation, must also be submitted when claiming 10 point preference, and/or consideration as a 30 percent or more disabled veteran.
