Priority Service for Veterans & Spouses of Veterans

As a veteran or eligible spouse, you receive priority in the services we offer.  Those services include job referrals, access to job training and staff resources. 

Priority Order

Priority of service means the right of eligible veterans to take precedence over noneligible persons in obtaining workforce services.  Taking precedence can mean they receive access to workforce services before noneligible persons, or, If workforce services are limited, eligible veterans receive access to workforce services instead of noneligible persons.

Noneligible persons who are currently receiving workforce services will not be displaced in order to provide priority of service to eligible veterans.  Staff must ensure that the next available workforce services are provided to eligible veterans.

Determine Your Eligibility

  • Served on active duty more than 180 days and received other than a dishonorable discharge;
  • Was discharged/released from active duty because of a service-connected disability;
  • Was released from active duty by reason of sole survivorship discharge;
  • Was a member of a Reserve/National Guard component ordered to active duty, served on active duty during a period of war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge is authorized and was discharged or released from such duty with other than a dishonorable discharge

I am a spouse of:

  •  A veteran who died of a service-connected disability;
  •  A veteran who has a total disability rating resulting from a service-connected disability, or any veteran who died while such a disability was in existence; or
  • An active duty service member who, at the time of application for priority,  is listed for more than 90 days as:
    • Missing in action;
    • Captured in the line of duty by hostile forces; or
