We follow the Veteran’s Preference law. This law provides a ten point preference to those applicants who have received an Honorable Discharge or
separation after serving 181 or more consecutive days in the military services for purposes other than training. Disabled veterans receive fifteen points if
supporting documentation is provided to validate their eligibility. If you meet the requirements, and you wish to exercise your Veteran’s Preference at
this time, please indicate so below. Veteran’s Preference may not be claimed by any veteran who is receiving, or is eligible to receive, a monthly
veteran’s pension benefit based exclusively on length of service. This law does provide preference points may be used by the surviving spouse of a
deceased veteran and by the spouse of a disabled veteran who because of the disability is unable to qualify.
