How are due seniority and/or veterans credits determined and credited to produce promotion examination eligible list scores?
If you are entitled to receive veterans’ credits and you want to claim these credits, you must apply for veterans’ credits each time you file for a promotion examination. If you meet the minimum qualifications of the examination, your promotion examination application and your Civil Service history file will be reviewed to determine what, if any, seniority and/or veterans’ credits are due you. Seniority and veterans’ credits are separately applied and credited as stipulated by Civil Service Law to passing promotion examination scores. When you receive a final score notice for a specific promotion examination, due seniority and veterans’ credits have been applied, where appropriate, in the final eligible list score reported to you.
