I've seen posts where a disabled vet assumes that they will automatically get a government job. Why is that?


From what I understand, vets get extra points. That doesn't mean that person is a shoo-in for the job. If a vet's application would only amount to 70 points based on merit and they get an extra 10 vet points, that only brings that person to 80 points.


A non vet could have 90-100 points based on merit. The non-vet should get the job.

People also assume that an undergraduate degree guarantees a commission in the military too. Hiring at the federal level is generally more complex than a 10 point vet getting all the jobs they apply for; otherwise, there'd be few federal employees that weren't disabled vets. Some federal agencies have direct hire authority (US Courts for example) and are not bound to any such stipulation as well.
