Question: How do I find out if I qualify for veterans’ preference?

Answer: Veterans' preference is available to certain categories of veterans when applying for jobs with the federal government. Eligibility requirements and other regulations dealing with veterans preference are regulated by the Office of Personnel Management. States may also have their own veterans' preference regulations for state government jobs. If you believe your veterans' preference rights have been violated, contact your local VETS office.
