Military spouses may be eligible for Spouse Preference if they:
- Are listed on their sponsor's Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders for Ellsworth; eligibility is also extended to spouses who marry subsequent to PCS assignment and whose sponsor's orders are amended as such.
- Have advised this office of their eligibility and present a copy of sponsor's orders with their application; and
- Have not accepted or declined a permanent (over 365 day tenure) Appropriated (Civil Service ) or Non-Appropriated position (to include AAFES) since their arrival at Ellsworth AFB.
Selection under spouse preference applies only once for each PCS move.
NOTE: Military Spouse Preference pertains only to active duty PCS assignments and not TDYs or moves in conjunction with a retirement from active duty.
Transition Hiring Preference
Public law 101-510 provides hiring preference for military members who separate under VSI/SSB. This provides preference over all other applicants except those with spouse preference. Preference only applies to NF-III positions and below. If you are the spouse of a THP eligible, you may also be eligible for this preference with your THP ID card. A 180-day waiting period may effect your VSI/SSB benefits if you except a position prior to completion of that time.
Veteran's Hiring Preference
To establish veteran's preference, we must have the following:
- DD-214
- Standard Form 15 - Application for 10-point Veteran Preference (if applicable).
Letter of Disability from the Veteran's Administration dated within the last year (if applicable).
Employment of Off-Duty Military
Active Duty Military applicants must submit a completed AF Form 3902, Approval for Off Duty Employment, with each application for employment.
Applications will remain on file for 90 days. A 90-day extension may be granted if requested prior to original expiration date.
