The following questions are voluntary questions, however, if you are interested in consideration as a
veteran, under Oregon’s veterans’ preference hiring law, we need to know if you qualify. More
information about this law, is available by going to BOLI’s FAQ:

For purposes of veterans’ preference hiring, a veteran is defined as: a person who served on active duty
with the U.S. armed forces for more than 90 consecutive days beginning on or before January 31, 1955
or for more than 178 consecutive days thereafter, and who was discharged or released from such
service under honorable conditions. Also included are veterans who served 178 days or less, but were
discharged or released under honorable conditions because of a service-connected disability (or who
have a disability rating from VA), or who served at least one day in a combat zone and were discharged
or released under honorable conditions. Finally, the veterans’ preference law applies to veterans who
received combat or campaign ribbon or expeditionary medal for service in the U.S. armed forces, and
were discharged or released under honorable conditions.
