Veteran Applicants: No Geographic Limits
The Office of Personnel Management has an update for federal personnel officials: Based on a recent Merit Systems Protection Board ruling, if an agency opens a job and accepts applications outside its own workforce, it must let eligible veterans apply regardless of where they are located. Prior to the ruling, OPM had operated under the assumption that veterans applying for federal positions under the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act were subject to the same area of consideration limitations as other applicants.
