5. VETERANS PREFERENCE INFORMATION
The vacancy you are applying to is being advertised under Delegated Examining (Category Rating) procedures, in accordance with Title 5 of the US Code.  Veterans and certain military spouses are able to receive a preference eligibility based on prior military service, disability, or survivorship. You can read more about each eligibility option by clicking the links below.  If you answer "yes" to this question, you are indicating that you have read and understand the supporting documentation requirements, and that you will provide these supporting documents in your application.  Missing or inaccurate supporting documents may result in your preference claim being adjudicated as ineligible. It's very important that you make the correct selection and provide the required information and documentation for us to verify any claim you submit. 

There are three types of Veterans Preference:
  1. Disabled (10-point preference eligible)
  2. Non-Disabled (5-point preference eligible)
  3. Sole Survivorship (0-point preference eligible)
When an agency uses a category rating system, preference eligibles who have a compensable service-connected disability (group 1) are placed at the top of the highest category on the referral list (except for scientific or professional positions at the GS-9 level or higher). Non-disabled preference eligibles (group 2) are placed above non-preference eligibles within their assigned category. Spouses claiming a sole survivorship eligibility are eligible to apply to merit promotion vacancies along with other "status candidates", but otherwise do not receive additional preference.

See the FedsHireVets Job Seekers page for more information on how preference is applied, how to claim a preference, and what documentation you may need to supply.
You can also check out the USAJOBS Veterans site as well.


Having reviewed this information, do you intend to claim any kind of spousal or veterans preference in your application to this announcement?

6. In the last five years, based on the closing date of this announcement, have you served or are you currently serving as an Executive Branch political, Schedule C, or Non-career SES appointee?
You can find out if you have held one of these appointment types by looking at your Standard Form 50s in your Electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF), in Section 5 where the legal authorities are listed.
  • A political appointee is an appointment made by the President without confirmation by the Senate (5 CFR 213.3102(c)) OR an assistant position to a top-level federal official if filled by a person designated by the President as a White House Fellow (5 CFR 213.3102(z)).
  • A Schedule C appointee occupies a position excepted from the competitive service by the President, or by the Director of OPM, because of the confidential or policy-determining nature of the position duties (5 CFR 213.3301 and 5 CFR 213.3302).
