SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATES FOR EXAMINATION
(4) APP/EX.EM 12/19
A. ANNOUNCEMENT OF EXAMINATION
Before filling out your application, you must read the announcement for this
examination thoroughly and carefully.
When completing your application be sure to enter, at the top of page 1, the
examination number and title which identifies the examination for which you are
filing and submit it to the Personnel Department along with the processing fee.
B. ADMISSION TO EXAMINATION
Do not interpret a notice to appear for, or actual participation in the
examination, to mean that you have been found to meet fully the announced
requirements.
Depending on the time available before an examination, applicants may be
admitted, conditionally, to the examination on the basis of statements made on the
application or without prior review of the application. Such statements may not be
reviewed and/or verified until after the examination is held. At that time those
candidates not meeting the requirements will be disqualified and notified of such
disqualification. Those candidates who are subsequently disqualified after taking
the test may NOT be notified of their score.
Contact the Fulton County Personnel Department immediately if you do not
receive a notice within three days of the date of examination informing you
whether or not you are to be admitted to the examination.
C. CHANGE OF ADDRESS
Notify this agency immediately of any change of address. Notification
must be in writing and include the number and title of examination.
D. SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS
If you have duly filed your application but need special arrangements
because you are a Religious Observer (for religious reasons cannot be tested on
date of examination(s)), a Disabled Person (require special arrangements in order
to participate in the examination(s)), or due to active Military Service deprived of
participation on the scheduled date, you must
1. Check the appropriate box in Question 4 and indicate the special
arrangements you require in the REMARKS section below.
2. Write to the Fulton County Personnel Department no later than the last
date of filing for this examination. Your request must include examination number
and title and the type of special arrangements required.
E. BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION
Applicants may be required to undergo a State and national criminal history
background investigation, which will include a fingerprint check, to determine
suitability for appointment. Failure to meet the standards for the background
investigation may result in disqualification.
F. VETERANS CREDITS
If you are making a claim for veterans’ credits with this application, be sure
you read the following information very carefully: Any claim for additional
credits as a disabled or non-disabled war veteran or candidate currently in the
armed forces, must be made with this application. Failure to complete Question 10
accurately and completely, may result in a denial of your claim.
If you are claiming credits as a disabled war veteran, in addition to meeting
the requirements as indicated by a “YES” answer to question 10 A-C and a “NO”
answer to Question 10 D, you must be certified by the Veterans’ Administration as
being entitled to receive payments for a service-connected disability rate at ten
(10) percent or more, incurred during a “Time of War” as indicated in Question 10
C.
If you have checked the box marked CURRENTLY ON ACTIVE DUTY
for question 10, effective 1/1/98 the NYS Constitution allows candidates currently
serving in the Armed Forces to request conditional veteran's credits. You must
provide acceptable proof of military status, i.e., a military ID card, military orders,
or other official military documents that substantiate active military service at the
time of examination.
If you pass the exam, conditional veteran's credits will be granted only at
the time of establishment of the resulting eligible list. You will be restricted from
certification using the additional credits until you provide appropriate documentary
proof that the service was in time of war (see question 10 C) and that you received
an honorable discharge or were released under honorable circumstances. Until
acceptable documentation is submitted to the Personnel Officer, your name will be
certified with the exam score excluding additional credits.
Veteran's credits may only be used for one governmental permanent
appointment or promotion.
All claims and grants of veterans’ credits are tentative and must be verified
through inspection of discharge papers and other related documents, as necessary,
prior to the establishment of the eligible list. All statements you make in support
of your claim for additional credits are subject to investigation and substantiation
by this agency. In the event of subsequent disclosure of any material mis-
statement or fraud in this claim, your appointment may be rescinded and you may
be disqualified from further appointment on which you have been granted
additional credits as a result of such material mis-statement or fraud.
