2Information Regarding Claiming Veteran’s Preference
Preference points are awarded to qualified veterans as defined by Minn. Stat. § 197.477, and to
certain spouses of deceased or disabled veterans subject to the provision of Minn. Stat. §§ 197.447
and 197.455.
The veteran must:
a) be a U.S. citizen or resident alien;
b) have received a discharge under honorable conditions from any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces; AND
have either:
i.
served on active duty for at least 181 consecutive days, or
ii.
have been discharged by reason of service connected disability, or
iii.
have completed the minimum active duty requirement of federal law, as defined by CFR title 38,
section 3.12a, i.e., having fulfilled the full period for which a person was called or ordered to
active duty by the United States President, or
iv.
certified service and verification of “veteran status” granted under U.S. PL 95-202.
The information provided will be used to determine your eligibility for veterans’ preference points.
You are required to supply the following information:
1)
Attach a copy of the “Member Copy 4” of your DD214 or DD215. This copy must state the
nature of discharge; i.e., honorable, general, medical, under honorable conditions. (“DD214 “Member-
1” copy will not be accepted.)
2)
Disabled veterans must also supply a Military/United States Department of Veterans’ Affairs
Rating Decision that supports/verifies the fact that the injury was incurred while on, or as a result of,
