VEOA Provides Preference-Eligible Veterans a Right to Compete, Not Promise of Selection: Federal Circuit | Practical Law
In Miller v. FDIC, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act (VEOA) provides federal employees with a mechanism to enforce statutory or regulatory veterans preference rights. VEOA gives preference-eligible federal employees the right to compete for federal positions, not a promise of selection for the job.
