VETERANS’ BENEFITS
There are many benefits available to veterans. In
this section, you will learn about Federal Civil Service
employment, job-finding assistance, reemployment
rights, unemployment compensation, and small
business loans.
Also briefly discussed here are the
Vietnam Era GI Bill, the Veterans’ Educational
Assistance Program (VEAP), and the Montgomery GI
Bill which are all considered Federally Legislated
Education.
FEDERAL CIVIL SERVICE
EMPLOYMENT
The Dual Compensation Act (PL 88-448) governs
the employment of retired military personnel in federal
civilian jobs and the employment of government
workers in more than one federal job.
Under the Veterans’ Education and Employment
Assistance Act of 1976, PL 94-502, individuals entering
the military service after 14 October 1976 do not receive
veterans preference unless they become disabled
during, or as a result of, military service. With few
exceptions, such as serving in a combat area, veterans
preference in government employment has been
eliminated for peacetime military service.
Certain veterans with military service prior to 15
October 1976, who pass examinations for civil service
employment, receive 5 to a maximum of 10 additional
credit points on top of the overall examination score.
Applicants are selected for employment from those with
the higher numerical ratings on the civil service
examinations. The extra points are a decided advantage
to the veteran.
Information concerning federal jobs and
examinations, including veterans’ preference, may be
obtained by writing to the Office of Personnel
Management. A listing of the Federal Job Information
Centers may be obtained by writing the Office of
Personnel Management, Federal Job Information
Center, 1900 E Street NW, Room 1425, Washington, DC
20415-0001.
