In general, veterans' preference eligibility is
based on dates of active duty service, receipt of a campaign badge, Purple
Heart, or a service-connected disability. Only veterans discharged or released from
active duty in the armed forces under honorable conditions (honorable or
general discharge) are eligible for veterans' preference. If you are not sure of your preference
eligibility, visit

both appointing authorities he or she should indicate their desire to receive
consideration under both appointing authorities. However, the criteria
for 30% or more disabled appointing authority are different from Schedule A Persons

eligibility criteria visit

Maybe.
Eligibility for veterans’ preference in Federal employment is dependent
on military service dates or service-connected disability and having served
honorably. The Feds Hire Vets website
(www.fedshirevets.gov) provides guidance on veterans’ preference and special
hiring authorities for veterans.
