Arkansas law lets private and local government employers adopt a voluntary veterans preference policy. The policy has to be in writing and applied the same way to everyone for hiring, promotion and retention during a reduction in force. It can be offered to veterans, the spouse of a disabled veteran, or the surviving spouse of a veteran.
There is nothing to apply for with the state. Ask an employer whether they have a written veterans preference policy, and provide official documentation of your eligibility when you apply.
Official documentation of your service or your relationship to the veteran, such as your DD214, a VA rating letter, or a marriage or death certificate.
