Veterans |
| Veteran Preference Credits are awarded in open and open nonpromotional entrance examinations requiring less than college graduation AND two years of experience. In OPEN examinations, eligible veterans, widows/widowers of veterans, and spouses of 100% disabled veterans receive 10 points. Eligible disabled veterans receive 15 points. In OPEN NONPROMOTIONAL examinations, eligible veterans receive five points. Eligible disabled veterans receive 10 points. Individuals who receive veterans points are not eligible for career credits pursuant to Sections 18950.1, 18951, and 18951.5. Note: No veterans preference credits will be allowed once a veteran achieves permanent civil service status. The Examination Announcement will tell you whether or not Veterans Preference Credits will be awarded. The points are added to the final score only after the candidate has successfully passed all parts of the examination. To apply for Veterans Credits, obtain an application from any departmental testing office and return it with your examination application. Disabled veterans must apply every time. Nondisabled veterans, widows/widowers of all veterans, and spouses of 100% disabled veterans need apply only once. |
