NOTICE OF VETERANS PREFERENCE
There is no formal rating system for applying veterans preference to attorney appointments in the excepted service; however, the Department of War considers veterans preference eligibility a positive factor for attorney hiring. Applicants eligible for veterans preference must include that information in their cover letter or resume and attach supporting documentation (see below) to their submissions.
Submission of a resume alone is NOT a complete application. This position may require the completion of additional form/s and/or supplemental materials. Failure to provide the required information and/or materials will result in your application not being considered for employment.
Military retirees seeking to enter civil service in the Department of War now require a waiver if they are within 180 days following their official date of retirement (5 United States Code 3326.)
Priority Placement Program (PPP) Military Spouse Preference (MSP) eligible candidates will receive priority consideration at the highest grade level for which they have applied and been determined best qualified up to and including the full performance level.

PPP Application Based Preference Eligibles (Military Reserve and National Guard technicians, Military Reserve and National Guard technicians receiving disability retirement, and Retained Grade employees) will receive priority consideration at the full performance level only.
All applicants are encouraged to apply electronically. If you are unable to apply on-line, you may contact 317-212-4434 for assistance.
