Veterans’ Service Priority
In accordance with the Veterans’ Priority
Provisions of the "Jobs for Veterans Act" (PL107-288), in
cases where there is a statutory mandate that requires a priority or
preference for a particular group of participants or requires spending a
certain portion of program funds on a particular group of participants,
the veterans’ priority is applied as follows:
a. an individual meeting both the veterans’
and the mandatory priorities or spending requirement or limitation
will obtain the highest preference;
b. Non-veterans within the program’s
mandatory priority will receive a preference over eligible veterans
outside the program-specific mandatory priority or spending
requirement or limitation;
c. Similarly, eligible veterans outside the
program-specific mandatory priority or spending requirement or
limitation will receive priority over non-veterans outside the
priority or spending requirement or limitation (once the spending
requirement or limitation is met).
In cases where the targeting requirements are
discretionary or optional priorities, the veterans’ priority is
applied as follows:
a. The veterans’ priority will take
precedence over these priorities. Within the program as a whole, the
grantee is required to implement the veterans’ priority in advance
of the opportunities and services provided to the population group
covered by the optional priority.
