Office of Personnel Management June 9, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing interim regulations to implement statutory changes to veterans' preference contained in the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2006. These changes expand the definition of a veteran and clarify veterans' preference eligibility for individuals discharged or released from active duty. The intended effect of these changes is to provide conformity between veterans' preference laws and OPM regulations, to further ensure that job seeking veterans receive the preference to which they are entitled.
