Veterans’ Preference Policy

Central Lincoln provides qualifying veterans and disabled veterans with preference in employment in accordance with Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 408.225, 408.230, and 408.235, and Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) 105–040–0010 and 105–040–0015.

Qualifying veterans and disabled veterans may obtain veterans’ preference by submitting a copy of their Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214 or 215) or a letter from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs indicating receipt of a non-service-connected pension with their application, which serves as verification of eligibility. Disabled veterans must also submit a copy of their Veterans’ Administration disability preference letter, unless this information is included in the DD Form 214 or 215.

To receive consideration, please ensure your documentation is attached to your electronic application upon submission.
