In order to receive the veterans preference, candidates must answer "yes" to the question on the online application that asks, "Have you been discharged or released therefrom the United States Armed Forces under Honorable Discharge or General Discharge (Under Honorable Conditions) OR have you completed the term of your initial contract as a Reservist or member of the National Guard and are actively serving in good standing AND do you wish to be considered for a Veteran's preference in hiring with the understanding that you must provide required documentation at the onboarding stage AND if you cannot produce the required verification your conditional offer may be revoked?
