Veterans’ preference points can make the difference in whether or not an applicant receives employment consideration; therefore, verifying entitlement to claimed preference is essential to providing fair and equitable treatment. This process is known as adjudication.
Most veterans’ preference claims are adjudicated by the Human Resources Shared Service Center (HRSSC), the district Human Resources office, or a designee. Human Resources personnel confirm these determinations when they audit Hiring Lists. Cases involving preference as the spouse or mother of a veteran must be referred to Human Resources (Headquarters) for adjudication.
