OPM Helping to Extend Hiring Preference to More Veterans


The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is working to make veterans' preference for federal job available to more veterans, including a new revised application that allows federal agencies to accept veterans' disablility letters. The revised Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference, Standard Form 15, is being posted directly on OPM's Web site so agencies immediately can accept Veterans Affairs Department letters of disability. Agencies, OPM examining offices and agency appointing officials use the online application to evaluate claims for veterans' preference on applications for government jobs. For more information, visit the OPM Web site at: www.opm.gov
