Extending Noncompetitive Eligibility to All Former, Full-Time AmeriCorps Members
Submitted by servicewire on Thu, 07/09/2009 - 09:03
A movement to extend one benefit of AmeriCorps VISTA and Peace Corps service to other service corps alums.
When AmeriCorps VISTA members and Peace Corps Volunteers finish their service, they are eligible for a year of noncompetitive eligibility when applying for jobs in the Federal government. AmeriCorps State and National members are not eligible for this benefit, though there’s mounting support to change this discrepancy.
