  Veterans who are disabled or who served on active duty in the Armed Forces during certain specified time periods or in military designated campaigns are entitled to preference over non-veterans in hiring from competitive lists of eligibles. Preference does not have as its goal the placement of a veteran in every vacant Federal job however, preference does provide a uniform method by which special consideration is given to qualified veterans seeking Federal employment. When applying for Federal jobs, eligible veterans should claim preference on their application or resume.
  
  To be entitled to preference, a veteran must have been discharged under honorable conditions. Discharge status is documented on Member Copy 4 of the DD-214. If the appropriate copy of the DD-214 is not submitted and the discharge status is not confirmed, the candidate will not receive credit for their claimed active duty military service. This would not apply to current active duty military personnel.
  
  If claiming 5 points, applicants must submit Member Copy 4 of their DD-214. If claiming 10-points, applicants must submit Member Copy 4 of their DD-214, and an SF-15 along with the documentation specified on the reverse side of the form. If the SF-15 is not submitted, the documentation required by the form verifying the service connected disability (e.g., letter from the VA confirming the disability) must be submitted in order to receive 10-point preference consideration. If you are claiming derived preference (relative of the veteran), you must submit Member Copy 4 of the DD-214, the SF-15 and the supporting documentation specified on the reverse side of the form. All candidates must submit all other required application materials as specified in this vacancy announcement. LACK OF SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION WILL RESULT IN THE AGENCY¿S INABILITY TO RECOGNIZE VETERANS STATUS FOR THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.
