Qualifications
In order to qualify, applicants must be eligible for appointment under the 30% or more disabled veterans hiring authority. The 30% or More Disabled Veteran hiring authority allows an agency to non-competitively appoint any veteran with a 30% or more service-connected disability.
You are eligible if you:
- are retired from active military service with a service-connected disability rating of 30% or more, OR
- have a rating by the Department of Veterans Affairs showing a compensable service-connected disability of 30% or more.
This authority can be used to make temporary (at least 60 days but not to exceed 1 year) or term (more than 1 year, but not more than 4) appointments in the competitive service. There is no grade level restriction. There is no requirement that you be converted to a permanent position, but an agency has the authority to convert such a position to a permanent position if it chooses to do so. The agency would first place you on a time limited appointment of at least 60 days and could then convert that appointment to a permanent appointment at management's discretion. When the authority is used to meet a time-limited need, however, you will not be converted to a permanent appointment.
You must provide acceptable documentation of your preference or appointment eligibility which is listed under the "Required Documents" section of this announcement.
