Massachusetts Veterans are given preference on the eligibility lists for civil service positions.
A system of absolute veteran's preference is used for open competitive exams. Veterans who receive 70 points or above on an open competitive civil service exam are immediately placed at the head of the eligibility list for the position. The veteran does not automatically get the job, but is placed at the head of the list. Within the system of absolute veteran's preference, veterans are ranked as follows:
· Disabled veterans have first preference over all other veterans
· All other veterans have second preference
· Spouses and single parents of veterans who died in action or from service-connected wounds receive third preference
All types of veterans have two points added to their scores for promotional exams. They are not placed at the head of the list.
