Electing Veterans' Preference
Veterans are encouraged to apply. Veterans’ Preference ensures that veterans and other eligible persons are given consideration at each applicable step of the selection process. However, preference does not guarantee that a veteran or other eligible person will be the candidate selected to fill the position. Section 295.07, Fla. Stat. (as amended), specifies who is eligible for Veterans’ Preference. State of Florida residency is not required for Veterans’ Preference. Any Veterans’ Preference qualifying U.S. citizen or lawfully authorized alien worker in the United States can apply with a political entity in the State of Florida and request Veterans’ Preference on their job application.
The burden is on the applicant to provide all pertinent information. All applicants claiming Veterans’ Preference must submit a Form DD-214 (member copy #4) or comparable discharge, separation, or current reserve documentation that indicates the character of service as honorable. In addition, all applicants must also furnish the applicable supporting documentation in accordance with the provisions of Rule 55A-7.013, F.A.C. (“Documentation of Preference Claim”). All required documents must be submitted no later than the closing date of the job announcement. If a position is "open until filled," all required documents must be submitted no later than 5p.m. ET on the date that is seven (7) calendar days after your application date.
If a qualified applicant claiming Veterans’ Preference believes s/he was not appropriately afforded employment preference, s/he may file a complaint at VeteransPreference@FDVA.fl.gov or “Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Attn: Veterans’ Preference Coordinator, 11351 Ulmerton Road, Suite 311, Largo, Florida 33778-1630.” The complainant must file a complaint within sixty (60) calendar days from the date they receive notice of non-select from the hiring agency.
