U.S. CITIZEN ELIGIBLE FAMILY MEMBER AND U.S. VETERANS HIRING PREFERENCE
Block 18. Preference in Hiring - Check the appropriate box. You may only check one box.
U.S. Citizen Eligible Family Members (USEFM) - For purposes of receiving a preference in hiring for a qualified position, a USEFM is an
individual who meets the following criteria:
1. U.S. citizen; and
2.
The spouse or domestic partner of the sponsoring employee, or a child of the sponsoring employee who is unmarried and at least 18
years old; and
3.
Listed on the travel orders of a sponsoring employee, i.e., a direct-hire Foreign Service, Civil Service, or uniformed service member
who is permanently assigned to or stationed abroad at a U.S. mission, or at an office of the American Institute in Taiwan, and who is
under Chief of Mission authority, and either:
a. Resides at the sponsoring employee's post of assignment abroad or, as appropriate, at an office of the American Institute in
Taiwan; or
b.
Resides at an involuntary separate maintenance allowance (ISMA) location, authorized under 3 FAM 3232.2.If residing at an
ISMA location, the individual will not be listed on the sponsoring officer's travel orders but will have a form SF-1190 processed
authorizing ISMA.
Other family members or dependents on direct-hire Foreign Service, Civil Service, or uniformed services member's travel orders are not
USEFMs or AEFMs for purposes of 3 FAM 8200.
If you claim status as a U.S. Citizen EFM, Mission HR may need to verify your status and eligibility. Mission HR's decision on eligibility for
the preference as a USEFM is final.
U.S. Veterans
If you claim status as a U.S. Veteran, you must attach a copy of your DD-214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. Failure
to provide a copy of your DD-214 to Mission HR by the closing date of the Vacancy Announcement means you lose eligibility for the hiring
preference.
Mission HR's decision on eligibility for U.S. Veterans preference after reviewing the DD-214, or conditional eligibility documentation, is final.
USG Missions do not use points in applying the hiring preference for USEFM or U.S. Veteran candidates. USEFM and U.S. Veteran
candidates generally have an equal preference in hiring; however, a U.S. Citizen EFM who is also a U.S. Veteran receives preference in
hiring before all other preference candidates. Under U.S. law including the Foreign Service Act of 1980, as amended, to receive a
preference in hiring, USEFM and U.S. Veteran candidates must be fully qualified before receiving first consideration for the advertised
position.
