U.S. Veterans
a. If you claim status as a U.S. Veteran, you must attach a copy of your DD-214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty. Failure to provide a copy of your DD-214 to Mission HR by the closing date of
the Vacancy Announcement means you lose eligibility for the hiring preference.
b. If you claim conditional preference status as a U.S. Veteran, you must attach proof of eligibility to your
application. Examples include a copy of your current military orders, or a letter on official military letterhead
signed by the commanding officer that states the type of service and that you are in an active duty status.
Failure to provide proof of conditional eligibility to Mission HR by the closing date of the Vacancy
Announcement means you lose eligibility for a conditional preference in hiring.
Mission HR's decision on eligibility for U.S. Veterans preference after reviewing the DD-214, or conditional
eligibility documentation, is final.
The Local Employment Recruitment policy does not use points in applying the hiring preference for USEFM
or U.S. Veteran candidates. Under U.S. law including the Foreign Service Act of 1980, as amended,
status as a USEFM or U.S. Veteran is an affirmative factor in employment. To receive a preference in
hiring, USEFM and U.S. Veteran candidates must be fully qualified before receiving first consideration for
the advertised position.
USEFM and U.S. Veteran candidates generally have an equal preference in hiring; however, a U.S. Citizen
EFM who is also a U.S. Veteran receives preference in hiring before all other preference candidates.
Under the Local Employment Recruitment policy, USEFM and U.S. Veteran candidates are eligible to
receive the preference each time they apply for Mission-advertised positions, subject to Mission HR
confirmation of eligibility. Application of the preference is not restricted to the candidate's initial hiring at the
U.S. Mission.
