2. Are you currently employed as a permanent competitive service employee in the Department of the Navy (Navy or Marine Corps)?

  • Your Notification of Personnel Action, Standard Form 50 (or equivalent personnel action form) will reflect career or career-conditional: Tenure 1 or 2 in box 24 AND
  • Your Notification of Personnel Action, Standard Form 50 (or equivalent personnel action form) must reflect your status in the competitive service: Position Occupied is 1 in box 34 (Unless you are on a permanent VRA appointment then it will show a 2 in box 34).

If you answer yes to this question, you are required to submit a copy of your most recent SF-50 showing you are employed in the DON in the competitive service AND the SF-50 reflecting the highest grade held if not reflected on your most recent SF-50.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are applying for a higher grade than the grade that you currently hold and the SF-50 you submit to support your eligibility claim has an effective date within the past year, it will not clearly show that you meet the one-year time-in-grade requirement. Be sure to provide an additional SF-50 which clearly demonstrates you meet the time-in-grade requirements (appropriate SF-50s include Promotions, Within Rate/Grade Increases (WRI/WGI), and appointment/conversion SF-50s with an effective date more than one-year old).

If you are a DoD employee, you can obtain a copy of your SF- 50(s) from MyBiz. Failure to provide documentation that fully supports your claim will result in a rating of ineligible.
