Disabled Vet: Open Competitive Exam: 10 points; Promotion Exam: 5 points
The veteran must have: served on full-time active duty for purposes other than training; been honorably discharged or released under honorable circumstances. In addition, beginning January 1, 1998, the NYS Constitution allows members of the US Armed Forces who are on active duty the right to request extra War Time Veterans credits on civil service examinations. Veteran’s credit may be requested for each examination until actually used, for appointment from a list. Credits may be used (the veteran was permanently appointed or promoted as a result of receiving the additional credits) once, with the following exception:
If non-disabled veterans credits have previously been used to obtain an appointment or promotion, for eligible lists established after January 1, 2014, disabled veterans may be entitled to additional credits on a civil service examination if they have used non-disabled veterans credits to obtain an appointment or promotion with New York State or a local government, and subsequent to such use, they have been determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”; formerly known as the United States Veterans Administration) to be a qualified disabled veteran, as defined in the New York State Civil Service Law. In such cases, the disabled veteran shall be entitled to apply for and use 10 credits on New York State and local open competitive and promotion examinations, minus the number of non-disabled credits he or she has previously used. The additional credits can only be used once.
