How long can a 10-point preference eligible veteran file an application after a non-temporary appointment has been made?

A 10-point preference eligible veteran has the right to file an application at any time after a non-temporary appointment has been made. This flexibility is designed to support veterans in their job-seeking efforts, allowing them to continue seeking employment opportunities even after they have missed the initial window following their non-temporary appointment.

This option reflects the understanding that veterans may face various circumstances affecting their ability to apply for positions, and providing this open-ended timeframe acknowledges the diverse experiences of veterans in their career paths. As a result, the correct choice allows for the most inclusive and supportive approach for veterans in the hiring process.
