INFORMATION FOR ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE
MEMBERS
ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBERS: The VOW Act Chapter 21 of Title 5,

agencies treat active duty service member as veterans, disabled
veterans, and preference eligible, when they submit, at the time
they apply for a Federal job, a "certification" of active service in
lieu of a DD214, assuming the service member is otherwise eligible.
A "certification" letter should be on letterhead of the appropriate
military branch of the service and contain (1) the military service
dates including the expected discharge or release date; and (2) the
character of service. The service member's military service dates
are necessary in order to determine whether he or she meets the
definition of "veteran" under 5 U.S.C. 2108(1). The "certification"
must reflect the service member is expected to be discharged or
released from active duty service in the armed forces under
honorable conditions not later than 120 days after the date of

of, the adjutant, personnel officer, or commander of your unit or
higher headquarters and must indicate when your terminal leave will
begin (if applicable), your rank, dates of active duty service, the
type of discharge and character of service (i.e. honorable).
Further, under paragraph (h) of the rule, agencies are required to
