I am currently an officer enlisted in the PHS Commissioned Corps and I am interested in staying in the Corps if selected.

I am a current or former federal employee displaced from a position in a federal agency (e.g., IRS, VA, Department of Labor) in the same local commuting area of the vacancy. My most current (or last) performance rating of record was at least fully successful or the equivalent. Applicants eligible under the Interagency Career Transition Assistance Plan (ICTAP)/Career Transition Assistance Plan (CTAP) are provided priority selection for vacancies within the local commuting area for which they apply and are well qualified.
To verify your eligibility, you must submit copies of the appropriate documentation, such as a reduction in force (RIF) separation notice, a SF-50 reflecting your RIF separation, or a notice of proposed removal for declining a directed reassignment or transfer of function to another commuting area. You must also submit documentation to reflect your current (or last) performance rating of record.

I am an individual with a documented intellectual, severe physical, or psychiatric disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities and wish to be considered noncompetitively for this announcement.
In order to be eligible for employment through the Schedule A noncompetitive process, documentation of the disability is required. This documentation must be provided in your application package before the announcement closing date. Documentation of eligibility for employment under Schedule A can be obtained from a licensed medical professional (e.g., a physician or other medical professional certified by a state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory to practice medicine); a licensed vocational rehabilitation specialist (i.e., state or private); or any Federal agency, state agency, or agency of the District of Columbia or a U.S. territory that issues or provides disability benefits. The letter must be printed on the official letterhead of a medical professional and must include a signature or it is invalid. Please visit OPM's website for sample letters.
For clarity, applying using "Schedule A" can be an expedited way to get a Federal job, but it is only one of many options that may be available. You will still have to compete with other eligible applicants.
