THE USE OF VETERAN'S CREDITS
New York State Civil Service Law allows additional credits in examinations to successful candidates who have
filed for and established their status as wartime veterans or disabled wartime veterans. These credits are granted
at the time of establishment of the eligible list on the following basis:
Open-Competitive Exams Promotional Exams
Wartime Veteran 5 points 2.5 points
Disabled Wartime Veteran 10 points 5.0 points
Candidates may use their wartime veteran's or disabled wartime veteran’s credits to gain appointment only once
in the civil service of the State or of any City or Civil Division thereof.
The mere application for wartime veteran's credits does not obligate an applicant to use such credits. Candidates
who pass the examination will be notified of their standing on the eligible list with or without these additional
credits. At the time of appointment eligible candidates will be asked to sign forms using or relinquishing these
additional credits.
