Veterans' Preference Act

The Veterans' Preference Act grants eligible military veterans preference in federal employment, giving them a competitive advantage when applying for government jobs. This means veterans who meet specific criteria may receive additional consideration or points during the hiring process, helping acknowledge their service and sacrifice. The law aims to provide fair employment opportunities for veterans, ensuring they have a better chance of securing federal positions compared to non-veterans, while still maintaining a merit-based hiring system.
