Spouse Preference Program, Family Member Employment Assistance Program, Transition Assistance Employment Preference, and Veterans’ Priority Consideration are offered by our organization.

This is a Department of Defense program instituted to lessen the adverse impact on the career paths of spouses of Active Duty Service members. The program grants eligible spouses, who are minimally qualified for positions graded NF-3 and below and equivalent hourly paid positions, a special preference in the selection process. If you are the spouse of an Active Duty Service member, ask us if you qualify for Spouse Preference. Spouse Preference requires a copy of the Active Duty Service member's orders with the spouse's name listed. Effective 19 Mar 2012, Spousal Preference applicants hired in a flexible position will not lose their spousal preference eligibility until transferred or hired into a regular Full-Time or Part-Time position. There is no limit to the number of times spousal preference may be applied to referral and selection for non-continuing positions. Spouses may be simultaneously referred for continuing and non-continuing positions. Eligibility terminates due to acceptance or declination of an offer of a continuing Full-Time or Part-Time position.

The Transition Assistance Employment Preference is a Department of Defense program instituted for members of the armed forces and their eligible family members who were involuntarily separated. To apply to receive this preference, you must submit a written request/statement (may be obtained from the MCCS Human Resources Office) and present an ID card with "TA" stamped in red on the front of card.

MCCS welcomes applications from veterans. While the veterans' hiring preference laws are not applicable to Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) employment, Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) offers veterans’ priority consideration for certain positions. Veterans applying for NAF jobs may be given priority consideration at time of hire only. For purposes of this priority consideration, "veteran" shall be defined the same as the term "preference eligible" in 5 U.S. Code 2108 (3) - (4); however, this is priority consideration only and not a selection preference. To receive priority consideration, veterans must submit a copy of their DD 214 at the time of application.
