You get a preference when you apply for a Nevada state job. The order runs veterans with a service-connected disability first (the highest preference), then veterans, then the surviving spouse of an active duty service member killed in the line of duty, then members of the U.S. Armed Forces Reserves or Nevada National Guard, then a deceased veteran’s surviving spouse.
Claim the preference when you apply for state employment and submit the documents listed in the Division of Human Resource Management veteran documentation guide. For help, call 775-684-0150 or email hrm@admin.nv.gov.
Your DD214, plus your VA disability letter, marriage certificate or casualty documentation depending on which preference category you claim. The state’s veteran definition and documentation guide lists what counts.
