Spouse employment preference is a
preference for employment in DOD appropriated fund civilian positions for which
the military spouse is best qualified at grade levels GS-5 through GS/GM-15 (or
equivalent wage system positions). Preference for NAFI positions is
at grades UA-8 and below (and equivalent positions) and for those jobs paid at
an hourly rate. Depending on qualifications and experience, the
spouse is afforded serious consideration for competitive civil service
vacancies.
If the spouse has previous government work
experience, preference can be exercised up to the highest grade level ever
held. Spouses of active duty military personnel of the DOD with
personal civil service status (i.e. current career or career-conditional
employees, reinstatement eligible) should apply to the Human Resource Office for
available positions.
